The area<\/h2>\n

Clapham is perfectly located between Battersea and Brixton, two equally great areas. Clapham has become extremely popular for its lively vibe which attracts young professionals from all over the world. It is divided into four areas: Clapham North, Clapham Old Town, Clapham South and Clapham Junction. Clapham North is the less gentrified area. It is cheaper and a good place for students and recent graduates. Clapham South is a little further out and is popular for families generally. Clapham Old Town has many beautiful Victorian and Georgian terrace houses, very popular again for families and a bit pricier. And finally, Clapham Junction is the area close to all restaurants and bars. Families tend to find it a bit hectic but it would be the perfect place for students because of the atmosphere and young professionals as it also has good links to the city.<\/p>\n

Links to the city<\/h2>\n

Clapham has three tube stations: Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South. They are all in zone 2 on the Northern line. It\u2019s really well positioned in terms of transport, you can get to the west end in only 15 minutes. Clapham High Street is also on the overground so that enables good links to Canada Water, Shoreditch and Highbury & Islington. If you take a train from Clapham junction you can get to Victoria or Waterloo in under 10 minutes. And finally, if you\u2019re not a fan of public transport\u2026 no worries! Cyclists will love the Cycle Superhighway 7 going along Clapham Common!<\/p>\n

Where to go<\/h2>\n

Mommi – for food<\/h3>\n

Mommi is a Japanese-Peruvian fusion bar and restaurant. Very representative of the Clapham\u2019s upbeat vibe. It\u2019s a perfect place to meet friends for dinner, a few cocktails and before you know it the place will turn into a nightclub. During the weekends they have live music which is lovely and it\u2019s also a good spot for Sunday brunches. Basically everything you need in just one place!<\/p>\n
