Mildmay line

The Mildmay line is a London Overground railway line which passes through the inner suburbs of London, England 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, it was labelled in Transport for London timetables as the Richmond and Clapham Junction to Stratford route.

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.

Renaming

In July 2023, TFL announced that it would be giving each of the six London Overground services unique names by the end of 2024. In February 2024, it was confirmed that the North London / West London section would be named the Mildmay line (to honour the Mildmay Hospital in Bethnal Green, which treated victims of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s) and would be coloured sky blue on the updated network map.
