London’s Overground network has welcomed a new addition to its roster of routes, with the unveiling of the “Mildmay” line. Stretching from Richmond in the southwest to Stratford in the east, this line has been given its own identity and distinctive blue parallel lines on TfL maps, marking it as one of six newly named routes designed to enhance navigation across the capital.

The decision to honour the Mildmay name holds deep significance, rooted in the rich history of Mildmay Mission Hospital. Situated near Shoreditch, this charitable institution has served as a beacon of care and compassion for over a century. With just 28 inpatient rooms, Mildmay Hospital played a pivotal role in providing critical care during the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s, earning its place as one of London’s most revered medical facilities.
