Clapham High Street railway station is on the South London Line from London Victoria to London Bridge.
It is close to Clapham North station and interchange between the two is counted as an Out of Station Interchange (OSI) on Oyster, so journeys involving a change between the two are charged as through journeys and not two separate journeys.
It is operated by Southern trains. The next stations are Wandsworth Road to the west towards Victoria, and Denmark Hill to the east towards London Bridge. Trains also run east to Brixton, but no trains stop at both Clapham High Street and Brixton (apart from occasional diversions).
The station is unmanned.

Famous quotes containing the words high, street, railway and/or station:
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)
“The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
