Clapham

A flourishing area popular with families and young professionals alike, Clapham attracts a diverse mix of residents surrounding the vast Common. There are grand Georgian terraces on Grafton Square and in the Old Town. With Victorian charm there are village style areas such as Abbeville and Clapham Old Town and modest Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses. There’s ample choice for young professionals in the lively Clapham North area, with larger houses and flats found closer to Clapham South. Around the Common there are grand period conversions and purpose-built mansion blocks.

The 220 acres of Clapham Common attracts those looking for solo and team exercise, dog walkers and picnickers, with a packed calendar of events to enjoy in the summer months, including the annual SW4 festival. It also has a paddling pool, a Grade II listed bandstand, a skatepark, basketball, netball and tennis courts and more.

Clapham boasts a huge array of restaurants, pubs and bars, a nightclub, an arthouse cinema and a fringe theatre. Budding chefs and home cooks head to the Venn Street Market for quality produce and local delis.

Clapham has three Tube stations, overground links to the City, West End or Waterloo, 24 hour buses and cyclists can take advantage of the Cycle Superhighway 7 running alongside Clapham Common.
