areas in Clapham North include Acre Lane

and Landor Road, as well as Ferdale Road,

Clapham has always been a popular place to

live. Through the 18th and early 19th

centuries, Clapham property was favoured by

the upper classes, with many large houses

and villas built around Clapham Common and

in the Old Town in a bid for Londoners to

have country style living close to the city

centre. Samuel Pepys spent the last two

years living in a Clapham property, and in the

early 19th century anti-slavery campaigner

William Wilberforce called the area home.

The green open spaces of Clapham Common

and the area’s convenient transport links

make Clapham Southside a wonderful place

to live.

When looking for London apartments or

houses for sale in Clapham Southside, you’ll

find properties in the area have something to

offer everybody. For families, there are larger

houses with generous gardens, close to

excellent schools and nurseries, while any

young professional can find an excellent

purpose-built or conversion flat for sale in

Clapham, surrounded by the fantastic local

nightlife.

CLAPHAM SOUTH

Clapham boasts two Tube stations,

and is ideal for busy professionals

who need a peaceful living

environment as a retreat from the

fast working pace of the city.

Alastair Summerfield, our

innovative Clapham estate agent,

works with a lot of families looking

for “urban village” living among the

terraced Victorian properties and

large gardens on offer in Clapham

Southside

Alastair also emphasizes the appeal of property in Abbeville Village; with its niche

boutiques, restaurants, bars, summer fete and farmers’ market, it offers locals a sense of

community, as well as proximity to Clapham Common.Property for sale in Clapham is

particularly popular throughout the Abbeville area..

Damian Kenley, Douglas & Gordon’s lettings

manager and chief letting agent for Clapham

Southside, says that people looking

for property to rent in Clapham tend to favour

family houses. “Most of our stock consists of

large Victorian four and five-bedroom houses,

which are let for £800-900 per week” says

Damian. “We have fewer flats for rent but a

two-bedroom flat would go for £375 per week.”

Rental prices in Clapham have increased, but

not as much as those in other areas. Damian

says she has noticed a rise in letting requests

from France in the Clapham Southside area.

There are several factors that make a house

for rent in Clapham an attractive prospect for

these families. These include the local French

schools, the Common, the village feel enjoyed

when renting Clapham property in the

Abbeville area, and the good transport links.

While Damian’s client base consists primarily

of families, there are also a few young

professionals who find a flat for rent in

Clapham Southside places them conveniently

close to Tube routes into the city.
