Especially when you\u2019re on the high street! Clapham High Street boasts a variety of venues: bars, pubs, clubs and cafes alike. Its traffic really amps up on the weekends.

The district also appreciates its art, specifically cinema. Clapham Picturehouse is one such cinema, an arthouse cinema to be exact, which exhibits blockbusters and independent films alike. It even sometimes hosts musical evenings where you can kick back and enjoy some jazz!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clapham is also home to, reportedly, \u2018one of the best fringe theatres in London.\u2019 A fringe theatre is, simply put, a theatre that specializes in non-traditional smaller productions. The Landor Theatre is one such theatre, one that could be at your very doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"countless-amenities\">COUNTLESS AMENITIES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Clapham locals are grateful for its bounty of amenities. With four sections to this urban village, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to run out of places to go or supermarkets to shop in. In particular, the Venn Street Market stands out as a unique way to get your groceries. This market offers quality food and produce, even offering quality scallops! While there are of course endless restaurants to choose from, it\u2019s always a delight to enjoy a home-cooked meal, so this market comes as a great boon to the home chefs in its community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also find reputable butchers, quirky cafes, high-quality restaurants and much more. Clapham is also home to more than a few supermarkets. As well as this, it has its own leisure centre, a variety of gyms and a library and health centre combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clooper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/photo-1474625417279-a1308b1bb4a2.jpg\" alt=\"clooper, clapham\" class=\"wp-image-1264\" width=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clooper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/photo-1474625417279-a1308b1bb4a2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/clooper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/photo-1474625417279-a1308b1bb4a2-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Unsplash\/Viktor Forgacs<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wide-open-spaces\">WIDE OPEN SPACES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Clapham is certainly more esteemed for its nightlife, its wildlife is something to admire also. Clapham Common is one of Londons largest open spaces in the entirety of London. This park is popular with dog walkers, sun-seekers and fitness fanatics alike. It boasts a children&#8217;s playgroup, paddling pool, numerous playing fields and sports fields. The Common even has its own community group that tends to it and plans events. You can find out more <a href=\"http:\/\/claphamcommon.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"handy-transport-links\">HANDY TRANSPORT LINKS <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the reason that Clapham is so popular with young professionals is its excellent links for transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three Tube stations to choose from, Clapham North, Common and South. These are all in Zone 2 on the district line, meaning you could reach the West End in as little as 15 minutes. There are also links to Canada Water, Shoreditch High Street and therefore Liverpool Street, Clapham Junction and Highbury and Islington. Clapham Junction is also a major rail interchange that leads to Victoria and Waterloo in only around ten minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re more partial to bus journeys, there are many options there too. You can catch a bus to Wimbledon, Richmond, Aldwych, Putney Bridge and Shoreditch. A large number of buses are also 24-hour services, accompanied by nightly bus routes that lead to Camden and Tottenham Court Road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1262,"template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-1261","areaguide","type-areaguide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Area Guide - Looking To Move To Clapham?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Full of urban charm and an unmistakably lively vibe: Clapham is extremely popular with young professionals and students alike.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/clooper.com\/blog\/area-guides\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Area Guide - Looking To Move To Clapham?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Full of urban charm and an unmistakably lively vibe: Clapham is extremely popular with young professionals and students alike.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/clooper.com\/blog\/area-guides\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Clooper Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/clooper.app\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-02-14T15:10:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/clooper.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/photo-1616968163834-c61e1b9cd409.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"533\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@clooperapp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham\",\"name\":\"Area Guide - Looking To Move To Clapham?\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/09\\\/photo-1616968163834-c61e1b9cd409.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-09-17T10:18:29+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-02-14T15:10:32+00:00\",\"description\":\"Full of urban charm and an unmistakably lively vibe: Clapham is extremely popular with young professionals and students alike.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/09\\\/photo-1616968163834-c61e1b9cd409.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/09\\\/photo-1616968163834-c61e1b9cd409.jpg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":533},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\\\/area-guide-looking-to-move-to-clapham#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Area Guides\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/area-guides\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"The Clooper Guide To Clapham\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/clooper.com\\\/blog\\\/\",\"name\":\"Clooper Digest\",\"description\":\"Top Corporate Travel Management Company &amp;
