Records of Clapham date to over 1000 years ago. Growing from a little village in Surrey, Clapham became a nationally, well-known English district. It’s population grew in the late 18th century as it became a fashionable place for the rich to live. It symbolised an area close to the riches of London, as well as a quiet setting away from the city. However, the opening of the famous Clapham Junction Train station in the 1860s converted the social demographic. The upper classes were replaced by working-class commuters, and Clapham quickly became a suburb to the capital. Then, World War Two bombing forced Clapham into a regeneration plan in the 1980s. You can still see for yourself some of the bomb shelters that remain. Following a period of gentrification Clapham is now regarded as an affluent district, and a popular tourist destination.
