I was waiting for a connection at Denmark Hill station the other day,
having travelled from Clapham High Street, and heading onwards to
Lewisham. I was amazed how many goods trains I saw on that journey - at
least two in each direction, if not three. And a huge train packed full
of Citroen C3s, which I assume had crossed via the Channel Tunnel

Presumably most of the trains going towards central London would have
come from the Tunnel, but where do they go after Clapham High Street?

Most of them will cross at Wandsworth Road to the West London line through
Kensington Olympia. From that line they can either run onto the West Coast
Main Line and Wembley yard, take the high level route and continue along the
North London line or touch the WCML at Willesden and then turn away to join
the Gret Western Main Line at Acton.
