The Anonymous Widower

From Victoria to Wandsworth Road

Wandsworth Road station is the station on the new South London line closest to the terminus of line at Clapham Junction station.

These pictures were taken on the short route from Victoria to Wandsworth Road.

It is not the best area architecturally of the capital and is dominated by the disused and falling down Battersea Power Station. Whether and how the Northern Line Extension to Battersea is built, should make a difference to the area.

I’m tending to think though that the best thing to do, would be to demolish the Battersea Power Station first. All it seems to do is bankrupt developers these days. You have to remember that power stations built in the early part of the twentieth century were built for a short life span, after which they were demolished. Battersea Power station is proving that rule by falling down on its own.
