You can tell us more about Clapham.

• Clapham is a very nice place to live, the high street is much cleaner than it used to be, people are friendlier. its a bit cloney but it has a community feel and is now relatively safe. Best to go off the high street to avoid the crowds of teeny boppers and twenty somethings who have colonised it. Clapham high street is good for eating and drinking out but not for shopping
• The 137 bus goes straight from the common into the West End (thru' Chelsea) which is dead handy.
• the common on a sunny afternoon
• Clapham is home to South London's only 365 homeless charity, namely, Ace of Clubs (not actually a club as indicated elsewhere on this site!) You can get a two course lunch for 60p - not bad eh?
