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:
“The high that proved too high, the heroic for earth too hard,
The passion that left the ground to lose itself in the sky,
Are music sent up to God by the lover and the bard;
Enough that he heard it once; we shall hear it by and by.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“If you would learn to write, ‘t is in the street you must learn it. Both for the vehicle and for the aims of fine arts you must frequent the public square. The people, and not the college, is the writer’s home.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
