Future
The station is to be incorporated into London Overground through the newly extended East London Line, under phase 2. Mayor Boris Johnson announced the go-ahead for the extension on 16 February 2009. The new service will begin in December 2012, connecting Clapham Junction with Highbury & Islington, replacing the existing South London Line service. This will reduce Denmark Hill's direct service to Victoria and London Bridge, but will introduce for the first time direct links to Docklands and the eastern part of the City of London.
