[edit] History
The station opened in June 1900 as part of an extension of the City & South London Railway to Clapham Common one stop to the south. The station, designed by TP Figgis, is one of two remaining stations that has an island platform in the station tunnel, serving both the northbound and southbound lines; the other is Clapham Common. The original station building was replaced in the mid 1920s when the line was modernised and the original building was remodelled by Charles Holden. The ticket hall was rebuilt after the installation of escalators and Figgis's station facade was replaced with biscuit-cream faience slabs and black coping tiles to the parapet walls. In turn the station has recently had it's façade reclad.
Clapham North is one of eight London Underground stations which has a deep-level air-raid shelter beneath it.
