The semicircle between the main lines and the spur that used to go

I thought there used to be allotments there. There were some at
Clapham Junction on the curve from the WLE to the Up Windsor Line
until the curve was reinstated for Eurostar trains.

Unless they are directly accessed only from private back gardens, I
don't know how one can get there. It would be like an extra garden
for them. However, I don't think there's currently any barrier where
the line used to branch off and it looks like it's all railway land.

You could well be right. I've not been that way in daylight recently. I
just have this mental image of allotments there, in the days when the
bridge was still in use.
