Balham Station (GPS: 51.44341, -0.15282) is a station of the London Underground in Balham, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is adjacent to the Balham Railway Station of the National Rail. The station is located on Balham High Road (A24) in the boundary of Travelcard Zones 2 and 3.

The Balham Tube Station is served by the Northern Line between the Clapham South Tube Station (heading towards Edgware, Mill Hill East or High Barnet) and Tooting Bec Tube Station (heading towards Morden). The station began operations in 1926 for the City & South London Railway, the precursor of the Northern Line. It was used as a civilian air raid shelter during the Second World War. A bomb dropped above the station caused a partial collapse that killed over sixty people sheltering in the station.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
