The caption says Balham, any reason to doubt that?

i thought the begin said South .....

Amazing photos, and frankly so were a few of the comments.

The devastation was awful and considering the time frame, must have been terribly debilitating and yet people soldiered on. Kinda reminds me of the amazingly resilient way the Japanese have dealt with their own recent devastation.

we have a house in London, and was built in 1894. Typical london terrace house, but in the terrace, you can see where the bombs hit as there as some new 1940's designed house, luckly our home was not effected...

but as SBK mentioned, some amazing comments, but that would fall into an OTB topic

IIRC Balham station [overground] was originally part of the South Coast Railway which would explain the tile façade in the photo.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balham_station):

"Balham station consists of two adjacent stations (a London Underground station and a National Rail station) located in the Balham area of south London, England. The station is located on the A24 Balham High Road in the London Borough of Wandsworth, and is in Travelcard Zone 3.

The two stations are interconnected, albeit owned and operated separately, with separate ticket-issuing facilities and gatelines."
