    I've used the Clapham Common tube station just a couple of times and yeah, that platform is unnervingly narrow.

  2. Some more images from 2 years ago this day, the #ClaphamCommon flower laying in Remembrance for Sarah Everard.

  3. From this day 2 years ago at #KillTheBill #London, followed by a trip to the #ClaphamCommon flower laying in Remembrance for Sarah Everard the same day.

    Photos my own.

  4. @walkhighlands I remember taking a walk on #claphamcommon in #london after the October 1987 storm. Some very big trees were down. I heard someone say "It's absolutely ridiculous. This is the twentieth century, for god's sake!"

  5. Regarding #ClaphamJunction, #ClaphamCommon, #ClaphamNorth and #ClaphamSouth, early records call it “Cloppaham” and “Clopeham”. “Ham” means “homestead”. “Clopp” means “near a hill”. In medieval times, Clapham was tiny, but it grew after the plague (1665) and the great fire (1666).
