South Wimbledon is a London Underground station in South Wimbledon, a suburb of Wimbledon in south-west London. The station is on the Northern line, situated between Colliers Wood and Morden stations. It is located on the corner of Merton High Street (A238) and Morden Road (A219). South Wimbledon is on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 3 and Zone 4. HistoryThe station was opened on 13 September 1926 as part of the Morden extension of the City & South London Railway south from Clapham Common.[2] On the original plan it had the name "Merton Grove".[3] For geographical accuracy, the station was shown as "South Wimbledon (Merton)" on tube maps from 1928,[4] the name was also modified on platform signage, though not on the station building at street level. From the early-1950s, the "(Merton)" part of the name fell out of use.{{#tag:ref|"(Merton)" appears on the 1949 tube map, but not on the 1951 map.|group="note"}} Along with the other stations on the Morden extension, the building was designed by architect Charles Holden. They were Holden's first major project for the Underground.[5] He was selected by Frank Pick, general manager of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL), to design the stations after he was dissatisfied with designs produced by the UERL's own architect, Stanley Heaps.[6] Built with a shop to each side, the modernist design takes the form of a double-height box clad in white Portland stone with a three-part glazed screen on the front façade divided by columns of which the capitals are three-dimensional versions of the Underground roundel. The central panel of the screen contains a large version of the roundel. The station is a Grade II listed building.[1]{{#tag:ref| Holden's other stations on the Morden extension at {{LUL stations|station=Clapham South}}, {{LUL stations|station=Balham}}, {{LUL stations|station=Tooting Bec}}, {{LUL stations|station=Tooting Broadway}} and {{LUL stations|station=Colliers Wood}} are also listed Grade II.[7][8]|group="note"}} The station is the southernmost station on the London Underground network which has platforms in tunnels (Morden tube station is further south, but is an open cutting rather than tunnels). ConnectionsLondon Buses routes 57, 93, 131, 152, 219, 470 and night route N155 serve the station. Morden Road tram stop on Tramlink is within walking distance of the station.{{citation needed|date=February 2017}} FutureA planned new line to the Tramlink light rail or a separate bus rapid transit (BRT) system called the Sutton Link will create a new tram or BRT/tube interchange with new platforms built at South Wimbledon somewhere close to the current station as part of Option 1, offering services to Sutton via St Helier.[9][10] Notes and referencesNotes1. ^1 {{National Heritage List for England| num=1358037 | desc=London Regional Transport Station, Including Adjacent Shops to Left and Right |accessdate=14 February 2015 }} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Day |first= John R |last2=Reed |first2=John |origyear=1963 |year=2010 |edition=11th |title=The Story of London's Underground |publisher=Capital Transport |p=96 |isbn=978-1-85414-341-9}} 3. ^{{Cite book | title = What's in a Name | author = Cyril M.
