Local guide
About Clapham
Clapham has the great benefit of having plenty of greenery while being close to some great transport links to get you into central London or you can stay closer to home and explore areas like Battersea and Chelsea. Popular with young affluent families for its laid-back, friendly, unfussy vibe, open green spaces and ever-growing foodie scene, Clapham offers you the opportunity to have a local, village-feel experience, away from the hordes of tourists.
