The guy around 4.03 is absolutely right: Clapham has lost its authentic community. A Clapham expat I know recently walked down one of their old roads, off Abbeville Village. A newer, well-to-do resident looked at them as if they were completely foreign: most definitely not of the 'permitted ilk'. There's a lot of talk of 'inclusion' in London. The reality is, compared to the '80s (when many diverse people lived cheek by jowl in parts of inner London), people are either opting to self-segregate or the market or other factors are encouraging this phenomenon.

You should tell viewers that they can't get on the tube in rush hour, at all. Cycling and buses are popular alternatives. 😅

Brilliant mate! Thus is the best area in south west London, and there is no doubt about it.

Me and my husband stayed in Clapham when we visited in January 2020. I've been thinking about this neighborhood everyday since 😂
