The Windrush line is the service operated by London Overground on the East London line and South London line, running north to south through East and South London. The East London line was previously a line of the London Underground. Prior to the name being adopted in November 2024, the service was labelled in Transport for London timetables as the "Highbury & Islington to New Cross, Clapham Junction, Crystal Palace and West Croydon route".
