History of Clapham

Clapham dates back to Saxon times, specifically a settlement known as "Osgod Clapha". The settlement was small and it didn't expand much further than hamlet size for some while. The Common provided grazing for farm animals then, and was still being used for this purpose until the beginning of the 20th century.

The land around Clapham was fairly marshy, and this limited development in the middle Ages. By the 17th century highwaymen were a common sight on the Common, stealing as much money as they could from passing stagecoaches.

Clapham started to expand at the end of the 17th century, as the Fire of London led to many homeless north Londoners arriving. Prostitution became big business, even though the women involved for the most part avoided the Common.

Clapham Junction station was constructed in the 19th century, and industry grew up around this part of the borough. Industry brought in more workers, and so housing development occurred as a result of this.

The 20th century didn't really see that much more development. Today Clapham is a popular residential district, with a thriving atmosphere. Clapham has become popular with young professionals, particularly those with children, and the area around Old Town, the High Street and Abbeville Road has been transformed by the cinema, bars, restaurants and shops.
