From Balham To West Croydon

This series of pictures show the first part of a journey I took to get to Leatherhead station from Balham station.

Note.

• The Victoria end of the Brighton Main Line going South from Balham.
• The simple nature of some stations like West Norwood and Gipsy Hill.
• Sainsburys 5p orange bags are everywhere. All others are crap!
• Bromley Junction and how the route crosses the London Bridge end of the Brighton Main Line to the North of Norwood Junction station.

This map from carto.metro.free.fr shows the route from Balham to Norwood Junction (Just off map!) via Streatham Hill, West Norwood, Gypsy Hill and Crystal Palace.

Balham To Norwood Junction

Note how the Brighton Main Line goes South from Balham via Streatham Common and Norbury.

There certainly seems to be a lot of space for more development of the railway and/or housing.
