Why Move to Clapham?
Roughly sectioned into the three areas, Clapham North, Old Town and Clapham South, Clapham mostly lays within the London Borough of Lambeth.
Once home to rich merchants who had their grand homes built facing what is now known as Clapham Common, still a desirable location today.
It’s all about the connections: Easy transport links to London make commuting a piece of cake, just 20 minutes by train and 35 departures every hour!
Clapham exudes a lively vibe that makes it a top attraction for all, located very nicely across the Thames from posh Knightsbridge and Chelsea.
An alluring mix of high street brands nestle alongside artisan coffee shops, popular eateries and bars which means you don’t need to travel very far for daily necessities or pleasantries of life.
Living in Clapham means you can enjoy all the same privileges that more up-market areas offer but you don’t have to pay quite as much to live here.
Awash with things to do and see. The 220-acre Common, mentioned in the Domesday Book, hosts all sorts of events annually. Music festivals, gigs, kite flying and bike riding it is a very popular place to spend time.
The nightlife in Clapham is notoriously impressive with a huge choice of clubs and bars many open until the early hours.
Plus, there are plenty of places to dine. If you want to splash the cash, Trinity is one of the area’s smartest restaurants in town.
Larger than life, dynamic but with some quieter more refined areas, Clapham offers so much.
Clapham Schools & Education
Clapham is home to high-performing schools, making it an excellent choice for growing families. In fact, the high quality of educational standards draws people here from across London.
There is plenty of options with a huge number of state primary and secondary schools available alongside many sought-after independent schools.
Three of the best schools for younger children are Macaulay Church of England Primary School,
Belleville Primary School and Chesterton Primary School are just a few of the Ofsted-rated “outstanding” schools in the district.
The independent Eaton House the Manor School, Parkgate House School and Thomas’s Clapham are also excellent choices for private education.
For students starting secondary education, the “outstanding” Harris Academy in Battersea and La Retraite Roman Catholic Girls’ School are close by.
Although there are plenty of FE colleges in the city, one of the closest is South Thames College.
Situated in the heart of Wandsworth, it boasts fantastic purpose-built teaching facilities and offers entry level to higher education qualifications as well as courses for personal development.
The college has an excellent track record in teaching students of all ages, abilities and provides hundreds of courses.
Things to do in Clapham
Clapham offers an impressive and diverse number of activities when it comes to things to do. You can be as busy or as lazy as you want.
The lively bars and clubs cater generally for younger residents who enjoy partying until the wee small hours. Whilst a fantastic choice of upmarket restaurants offers diners a more sedate evening out.
If you enjoy going to the movies, that is covered too.
Clapham Picturehouse is an independent cinema with a modern four-screen cinema and bar on popular Venn Street.
Culture lovers are not left out either. The Battersea Arts Centre, housed in a beautiful Grade II listed building, is the leading live stage theatre for the district.
Clapham Grand is another venue for a great night out. Opened in 1900 and housed in an iconic building, all kinds of entertainment from comedy to dance and themed parties are the order of the day here.
Not far away, Brixton Market, one of London’s finest, is a must. Partly open-air partly covered, the market sells a wide range of foods and goods but is best known for its African and Caribbean produce, which reflects the diverse community of Brixton and the surrounding area.
Arguably, the most loved attraction is Clapham Common. It is at the centre of everyday life in Clapham.
It is huge, with 220 acres of ground open 24/7. It has no less than three duck ponds and its Victorian bandstand is where all sorts of interesting things happen during the year.
From festivals to music recitals, from all forms of exercise to relaxing picnics, the common is a winner all round.
Clapham Property
The district of Clapham is roughly divided into three areas: Clapham North, Old Town, and Clapham South.
The first thing to say about property in Clapham is that like all areas of London, homes do not come cheap, however, it is all relative in London.
Living in Clapham provides the same privileges as more up-market areas but at a more affordable cost.
An ideal location, rather than living right in the centre of London, many have purchased larger homes further out and Clapham fits this bill nicely.
There are lots of lovely neighbourhoods. Abbeville Village is a favourite spot for those with children because of its good schools.
It is the huge properties which overlook Clapham Common which are in greatest demand. Mostly Georgian and Victorian in style, they make superb family homes, if you can afford them.
For more reasonably priced properties look along the Union Road area.
