Shooting on a train in South London.

Don’t worry, nothing to do with gun crime. I’ve been shooting a commercial on a train in South London which gave me a view of London I don’t normally see. Because 90% of tube stations are north of the Thames, South London has a labyrinthine network of overground lines which all seem to thread through Clapham Junction. Looking out across the tracks, I got the sense of a London long gone – the South London depicted in Up The Junction. A very working-class area in the shadow of Battersea Power Station where people worked in local factories and lived in poky Victorian terraces that backed on to the railway. On the surface, it all looks the same. But in Battersea and Clapham, you’ll no longer find factories or working-class people. But you would need to find at least a million pounds for one one of those poky Victorian terraced houses.
