Clapham is a young, trendy area that’s situated in the borough of Lambeth in South London. It’s considered as one of the most well connected districts of London thanks to its three tube stations all on the Northern Line of the London Underground. Clapham is extremely popular with residents due to the wide variety of things to see and do including a multitude of top-quality restaurants, lively bars and spectacular green open spaces.
Clapham Common plays host to many regular events, especially in the summer, such as festivals, music events, football tournaments and more. Even without these festivals, Clapham Common contains many interesting landscape features including an array of mature trees, three ponds used for fishing, model boating and wildlife conservation, two woodlands and species-rich meadows and grasslands - making this large open field the perfect spot for a stroll and a picnic.
This highly-sought after location proves to be hugely popular with young families but also for young commuters working in central London. Even after the railways had been established in the 18th century, Clapham became a valuable place to live for commuters. The regeneration projects that have taken place in recent years have transformed this district and has become a hotspot for many.
