Clapham Local Information
Clapham is thought to derive from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Clappa’s
farm’, and began to be developed in the late 1600s. The wealthier
merchant classes of London built there, and many expensive homes
sprang up around the Clapham Common. By the 1900s, though, the rail
line connecting Clapham to London meant Clapham became more working
class and the upper classes began to desert it.
Lately, however, property prices have risen and the area is yet
again becoming popular with affluent white collar workers. As such,
many of the pubs have gotten quite costly (and competitive, meaning
great live acts and pricey beer), and the prep schools are now feeders
for Eton and Harrow. At least you’ll be guaranteed quality,
if a little costly. If you can’t afford a Mercedes, a car
hire will do the trick if trying to get your child into one of these
prestigious schools! Call us for a quote on car hire.
The Clapham Sect was a group of Anglicans, active from 1790 to
1830, who gathered for social reform – the liberation of slaves,
prison reform and other burning issues. They were rewarded in 1833
with the Slavery Abolition Act. The members included colonial governors,
clergy, chairman of directors, mathematicians, bankers and parliamentarians.
