Clapham , London
Once a distinct village, Clapham has evolved through several stages in its life until the modern version, a rather gentrified place where up-and-coming young marrieds locate. The Common was the focus for house building by the wealthier merchant classes in the 17th century, and some of these older houses remain, though far more Georgian and in particular Victorian properties predominate. Having been a place for ‘the quality’ until the end of the 19th century, it was thereafter regarded as somewhat humdrum for a time, but now it is once more fashionable, with a growing cafe and bistro culture befitting its new denizens. In the midst of this change the Common remains the same: elegant bandstand, green space, moments of madness and all.
