Being pedantic, you could argue that they never will run a 'circular' service in that it will always require a reversal at Clapham Junction.

It would need to break at Clapham Junction I think, because (and I'm not entirely sure of this) there won't be a platform that's connected to both the WLL and the Inner SLL.

The furthest Southern platforms (16&17?) connect to both AFAIK, but both lines approach from the London end, so it couldn't be a true circle. It would also need to use dual voltage units as the NLL/WLL is overhead wires while the ELL/SLL is third rail.

Also at Highbury and Islington I don't know if the crossover between the ELL and the NLL is actually in use (existent yes, commissioned no) and there's only one, so that might limit the capacity somewhat for a regular service! Maybe there might be a special tour, but...
