Rooms to Rent in Clapham, London

Clapham is a lively, leafy district in south west London, sitting mostly within the London Borough of Lambeth and overlapping into Wandsworth around Clapham Common. The area is best known for the Common itself, a large triangular park with three ponds and a Grade II listed bandstand, and for Clapham Old Town, a village-like cluster of Georgian terraces, independent shops and restaurants on the north east corner of the Common. It is a popular choice for young professionals and sharers who want green space on their doorstep alongside plenty of bars, cafes and weekend life.

Transport is one of Clapham's biggest draws. Clapham North, Clapham Common and Clapham South stations sit on the Northern line in Zone 2, giving quick links into the West End and the City. Clapham High Street is served by the London Overground Windrush line, also in Zone 2. Clapham Junction, one of the busiest rail interchanges in Britain, is around a mile away in neighbouring Battersea and adds further National Rail and Overground connections. The well known Northcote Road, with its market and eateries, lies just beyond Clapham towards Clapham Junction.
