Clapham Junction is a railway station located in Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is situated on St. John's Hill in the south west of Battersea and in an area now commonly known as Clapham Junction; a reflection of the influence the station has upon its locality. All services to Waterloo (except Eurostar services to the continent) and many services to Victoria stations pass through the junction; these include South West Trains, Gatwick Express and Southern services. Services from Clapham Junction also head north along the West London Line, through West Brompton and Kensington (Olympia), on to Willesden Junction and Watford Junction - services (to Willesden Junction) are operated by Silverlink.

The station has 16 active platforms, numbered 2 to 17, and arranged in two groups. Platform 1, the northernmost platform, is no longer used, having no rails; Portakabins have been sited at the north-east end, and a portacabin and power or signalling equipment housings sited at its south-west end. If the planned East London Line extension gets to Clapham Junction, it is possible that platform 1 would be used for the purpose. Platforms 2 to 6 form a northern group oriented in a west-south-westerly direction, whilst platforms 7 to 17 form a southern group oriented in a south-westerly direction and are separated from the northern group by a fan of a dozen or more sidings running into railway sheds to the west of the station.

The station's main entrance is from St. John's Hill, into a foot tunnel some 15 ft (4.6 m) wide running transversely beneath the eastern end of the 17 platforms, and on to a northern exit, which has restricted opening hours. The foot tunnel becomes very crowded during the morning and evening rush hours, and ticket barriers at the end of the tunnel are a particular pinch point. A covered footbridge connects the platforms at their western end. In contrast with the width of the tunnel, parts of the footbridge are vast, but unfortunately the footbridge does not provide entry to or exit from the station. Demands to reinstate the former footbridge entrance have, to date, fallen on deaf ears, despite the fact that it would alleviate the crowding and provide a potential taxi rank or bus station in what is currently an under-used car park.

In the recent past, in part because of the large number of platforms and trains, the station was somewhat confusing for those unfamiliar with it, who often found it difficult to establish from which platform a particular train would run. In 2003 a reasonably extensive system of electronic train information displays was installed at the station entrance, in the foot tunnel and on platforms. In May 2004, the ticket machines at the station were moved and reduced in number from six to four, only two of which take credit cards, and all of which are prone to frequent breakdown - this prompted a significant number of complaints from customers, leading to reinstallation of the two removed machines in winter 2004. There are seven staffed ticket kiosk windows, but purchasing tickets in the morning rush hour, and from time to time through the day, tends to involve a lengthy delay. In March 2005, work began to alter the layout of the travel centre and to install a set of eight new ticket machines.

Clapham Junction has long laid claim to being the busiest railway station in the United Kingdom, and on 17 June 2005 changed its signage and claim to be the busiest in Europe. Some 2,000 trains pass though it each day, the majority of which stop. It is possible that measured in numbers of trains, it may be the busiest railway station in the world.

In more recent times, Clapham Junction - or a point just slightly south-west of the station - was the scene of an horrific railway accident involving two collisions between three commuter trains on the morning of the 12 December 1988. Thirty-five people died and more than 100 were injured.
