 The Victoria Line
Basically, south Brixton, the area bounded by Brixton, Streatham Hill, Clapham South and Tulse Hill (with the Brixton Hill / South Circular junction in the middle); it's densely populated and underserved, and generates, i would SWAG, a lot of traffic at Brixton via a bus leg.
The new station could be at Rush Common (really the junction of New Park Road and Brixton Hill) or further south, at the South Circular junction (i'd call that one Brixton Hill).
The railway route is extremely wiggly; if it could be built as surface lines, it might make sense, but if tunnelling is going to be done, then it doesn't.
