Nine Elms station roundel

It is close to the site of the former Nine Elms railway station, once the terminus of the London and South Western Railway.

Service pattern

The station is in London fare zone 1, served by the Northern line as part of the two-station extension from Kennington. The extension continues to the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station.

Connections

London Buses serve the station throughout the day and night time.[9]

Design

The station entrance was designed by Grimshaw Architects,[10][11] and the future over-station development will be designed by Assael Architecture.[12] Design provisions for potential future installation of platform screen doors have been added to the station.[13][14]

In September 2019, Art on the Underground announced that artist Samara Scott had been commissioned to install a permanent artwork in the station's ticket hall.[15][16] Before the extension's opening in September 2021, it was confirmed that this artwork was not installed due to technical reasons.[17] Another commission for artwork at the station will take place in the future.[17]

In October 2023, a Labyrinth by artist Mark Wallinger was installed at the station, marking ten years of the artworks and the 160th anniversary of the London Underground.[18]
