The Northern Line is on track to extend to Battersea later this year, with two new stations opening. Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station will follow on from Kennington – and this will impact a strange quirk of the Tube network. At the moment, when southbound services terminate at Kennington the train does a huge underground circle beneath the Oval cricket ground and loops back in a northbound direction at Kennington again. This means travellers can visit the same station twice in one journey, and is a bizarre favourite among Tube fans on social media. One described the Kennington Loop phenomenon as a “wild journey.”
