Loughborough Junction

Loughborough Junction is an area in Herne Hill, South London, in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is located equidistant between Herne Hill, Brixton and Camberwell providing excellent transport connections to Central London. While it is not a formal neighbourhood, it straddles postcodes SE24 (Herne Hill), SW9 (Brixton) and SE5 (Camberwell).

Loughborough Junction is centred on a rail junction consisting of four railway lines and seven railway bridges, six of which can be seen at once from the centre of the junction and date from 19th Century.

The source of this area's name is Loughborough Junction railway station; 'Loughborough' because the area was once the location of Loughborough House, the residence of Henry Hastings, 1st Baron Loughborough, which was previously the Manor House of Lambeth Wick.
