Prior to construction of the Northern Line's extension to Battersea multiple options included the project being done instead with either the District Line from Sloane Square, the Victoria Line from Vauxhall or the Bakerloo Line from Elephant and Castle. This is noted around 03:23 minutes into the link below youtu.be/YlOCafMFWts

I don't think an extension would suit the Victoria or District lines either, especially since the District line has too many branches.

All DLR stations don't have a gate line apart from Woolwich Arsenal and the interchanges with the underground.

I agree with the Northern Line being preferable as Kennington is already a four platform station which mainly only required extra walkways between platforms to handle the increased interchanging. I imagine Vauxhall, Elephant and Sloane Square would likely require at least one extra platform to be constructed for the branch off.

The Northern Line is the only line that connects with the Waterloo & City Line at both termini

The Northern Line classifies Euston to King's Cross as southbound, but the Victoria Line classifies it as northbound.

The Northern Line classifies Euston to King's Cross as southbound, but the Victoria Line classifies it as northbound. Isn’t that because the Northern Line is heading towards Morden whilst the Victoria is heading towards Walthamstow through North London?

In their respective directions they serve Euston and King's Cross in the opposite order from each other. Whilst in the area i believe King's Cross has the most number of tube lines serving the same station, them being the Northern, Victoria, Piccadilly, Circle, Metropolitan and H & C Lines.

You’re right about Kings Cross yes, but strangely not the most platforms.

Although I must say Stratford has more diversity: - 2 tube lines (central, jubilee) - 2 sets of dlr lines separate from each other (one is the line to Canary Wharf, one to Canning Town) - 1 overground line - national rail - tfl rail / crossrail Liverpool Street is another one with a large diversified suite: - 4 tube lines (central, H&C, circle, metropolitan). Will soon become 5 once Liverpool Street and Moorgate get linked (so northern can be accessed as well) - 2 overground lines (Enfield town / cheshunt, Chingford) - national rail - tfl rail / crossrail - stansted express
