Colliers Wood

 

The station was opened on 13 September 1926 as part of the Morden extension of the City & South London Railway south from Clapham Common. Built with shops to each side, the modernist design takes the form of a double-height curving screen clad in white Portland stone with a three-part glazed screen in the centre of the 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.
