Mildmay line

The Mildmay line is a London Overground railway line which passes through the inner suburbs of London, between Richmond and Clapham Junction in the south-west and Stratford in the east, avoiding central London. Prior to the name being adopted in November 2024,[1] it was labelled in Transport for London timetables as the Richmond and Clapham Junction to Stratford route.[2]

The name was chosen to honour the Mildmay Mission Hospital, which treated victims of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s, and the line is coloured light blue on the Tube map.[3]
