=== History ===
Until the First World War, Camberwell was served by three railway stations – Denmark Hill, [[Camberwell Gate railway station|Camberwell Gate]] (near [[Walworth]]), and [[Camberwell railway station (England)|Camberwell New Road]] in the west. Camberwell Gate and Camberwell New Road were closed in 1916 'temporarily' because of war shortages, but were never reopened.<ref>[http://www.loveplums.co.uk/Tube/Blackfriars_Loughborough.html Blackfriars Bridge – Loughborough Junction] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120530180739/http://www.loveplums.co.uk/Tube/Blackfriars_Loughborough.html|date=30 May 2012}}, UK.</ref><ref>[[Pevsner Architectural Guides|The Buildings of England]] London 2: South, Second Edition 1983, page 625</ref>
