At Romford platform 1 is branded London Overground, while platforms 2, 3, 4 & 5 are TFL (Crossrail/Elizabeth line). I wondered whether the independent branding of platforms happens at other places too.

Yes it can, but it certainly isn’t consistent everywhere. There was a bit of discussion about TfL‘s policies in the Crossrail thread recently (about here and just before): https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...ss-towards-opening.211880/page-7#post-5124559

Outside TFL, the platforms at Clapham Junction have London Overground, South Western Railway and Southern branded platform signs.

Abbey Wood is a classic example as you've got Southeastern signage on the NR platforms served by Thameslink and Southeastern while you have Elizabeth line signage on the Elizabeth line platforms.

Are Southern and SWR different at Clapham? I thought it was all blue?

The Southern platforms are Green (or at least were last I was there, admittedly about two years ago)

They're definitely all blue with platform numbers rather than zones. Pretty sure LO platforms are too.

Have not seen them, but would assume that this is quite common where LO has dedicated platforms at a station mainly used by another TOC.
LO certainly want to make their brand known.
Examples being bays at Watford Junction and Cheshunt.

The two halves of Clapham are pretty obvious, even down to the stairs and announcement voices.
