Did you know that Clapham, the leafy green south London suburb we know and love today, was originally known as Clopp Ham? Have you twigged that Clapham Junction is actually in Battersea, not Clapham? And who would have thought that Clapham would be home to London’s largest Australian community?
Nestled within the London Borough of Lambeth, Clapham certainly has a lot going for it. One of its most popular spots is Clapham common - a sprawling 220 acre stretch of grass and greenery. Not only is the common home to many twenty-something-year-olds relaxing with friends, it’s also home to three ponds, a Victorian bandstand and a vast number of trees.
Clpaham is also vastly popular with celebrities. Everyone from Ainsley Harriott and Jo Brand to Miriam Margolyes call SW11 home. If you’re not on the lookout for the rich and famous, there are many independent shops, cafes and restaurants to enjoy, as well as pubs and nightclubs for those looking to dance their way through the weekend.
