Clapham Junction, London, UK
Passing through Clapham Junction recently, I paused for a few minutes to take some photos. It’s a train station I don’t always enjoy passing through because it is often very busy.
A major junction in South East London, it is one of the busiest train stations in Europe. It’s busy enough when it’s not peak times – rush hour seems frantically overrun. However, it can be an interesting place to photograph as it presents an interesting study of human life.

The railway lines run like veins through Clapham Junction to places in London and the South East. The lives passing through the station carry their stories to and from London. The pulse of the station ensuring that travellers are drawn in and then pushed onto their destination.
Sometimes it’s hard to see the human face of the steel tracks and the structure of the platforms. The many faces often blurring as they pass. Without the faces, the station wouldn’t be there.

The speed and far reaching nature of travel today is something we take for granted. I enjoy observing train stations, and photographing them – not only for the architecture, but increasingly for the stories passing through.
