Letting Agents in Clapham London SW4
Area Comments
A hugely popular area with virtually everyone, Clapham contains a wide mix of people and properties. Upmarket yet funky and fashionable, with a marvelous green space in the Common - one of the most famous in London - Clapham contains everything its choosy, but accepting inhabitants look for.
Property in the area is led by the beautiful Georgian houses that fringe the Common itself. These are kept to a very high standard, some as single homes and others converted into flats. This wonderful selection is complemented by the little network of Victorian terraces known in the Clapham Park area to the south and west of the common. The integrated and planned nature of these streets makes it feel enclosed and separate and leads to its other name, the Abbeville Village - a very sought after place to live. Other areas include the Grafton Square, where some magnificent mansions are found, and the more affordable Victorian and Georgian terraces in Clapham Old Town.
Clapham has been called the new Fulham but in truth its character is more open, accepting and far less urban, and tries less hard to be fashionable. This is a relaxed surburban space in which couples and the more upmarket first time buyer mix with reasonably well off families and longterm locals. Greenery is everywhere, not just in the form of this common but down the hill in Battersea Park, and just a little to the west in Wandsworth Common - a great concentration of greenery within 20 minutes of London Bridge from any of the three tube stops which alight here.
The area is a huge mix of little local stores, many only just off the common, and more usual shops a little further to the east towards the rest of Lambeth. Excellent bars and restaurants mix every culture and cuisine you can imagine, and Clapham is known for its nightlife, with clubs, cinema and bars catering to any taste.
This is a hugely multicultural and lively area, but with quiet backstreets and fantastic properties everywhere you look. Living on, or near, Clapham Common is a privilege and a joy for its locals, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better urban village to live in.

Balham
Balham is an area of south London which may well be said to fit better than some into the notion of the metropolis really being a collection of villages. That idea may be hard to sustain amid the skyscrapers of the city or Canary Wharf, or the endless Portland Stone white mews of the west end. But Balham may just have a hint of this vibe.
