Clapham

Clapham is an area of South London, England, located mainly in the London Borough of Lambeth and covering the postcodes of SW4 and parts of SW9, SW8 and SW12. In addition Clapham Common is shared with the London Borough of Wandsworth although Lambeth has responsibility for running the common as a whole. Clapham is split into three wards Clapham Common, Clapham Town and Thornton, while parts of Ferndale (Brixton) and Larkhall (Stockwell) wards also lie within Clapham proper. Although Clapham Junction station was named after Clapham by the Victorians, it, and the surrounding Northcote Road area, are actually located in Battersea, SW11, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. This has led to considerable confusion today with many people new or unfamiliar to the local area incorrectly believing the station to be in neighbouring Clapham. This has led to a local action group being created to reduce such confusion: Love Battersea.

Clapham is best known for its vast green space Clapham Common, its vibrant high street and the village like atmosphere of its historic Old Town which along with the area's vibrant nightlife, open air concerts and excellent bus, underground tube and train links attracts residents and visitors from all over the world.
