East Putney is a London Underground station on the Wimbledon branch of the District line.

On 3 June 1889, East Putney station was inaugurated as part of an extension to Wimbledon from Putney Bridge station by the District Railway (DR), which is now known as the District line. The London and South Western Railway (LSWR) constructed the extension and commenced operating their own trains over the line on 1 July 1889. This was facilitated through connecting tracks from their Waterloo to Reading line at Point Pleasant Junction, located just west of Wandsworth station (now Wandsworth Town), to East Putney.

The electrification of the District line from Putney Bridge to Wimbledon occurred on 27 August 1905, which completed the conversion from steam to electric operation.

Southern Railway, the LSWR’s successor, discontinued regular passenger services between Waterloo and Wimbledon through East Putney on 4 May 1941. Nevertheless, the line remained under the ownership of British Rail until 1 April 1994 when it was sold to London Underground for £1. Prior to the sale, the station was branded as a British Rail station. South Western Railway currently employs the Wandsworth Town to Wimbledon route, including the connection between Point Pleasant Junction and East Putney, for empty stock movements, occasional service train diversions, and three daily services that run between Waterloo and the route in the early morning hours to maintain train crews’ knowledge of the route. However, these services do not stop at East Putney. There are also rare movements of Network Rail engineering trains and light engine movements through the station.

East Putney is a proposed stop on the Chelsea-Hackney Line. It is envisaged that the station’s District Line service will be replaced by the new line.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
