I read this article 6 months ago, when I was first thinking of moving to Clapham from North London, and I found it reassuring. I moved to Clapham South, in a supposedly “nice street” just off the Common in what you describe as “suburban life” and a “fantastic place to live”. I’ve never lived anywhere so purely superficially nice, but with such a nasty undercurrent. It’s menacing and I’ve never felt safe. I’ve been renting a room in a lovely-looking Victorian terrace house, surrounded by middle class families, many with children. They look as though they could afford to live elsewhere and I can’t imagine why they don’t.
We’ve had two attempted break-ins in 6 months, and our downstairs neighbours have actually been broken into.
I’ve lost count of how many stabbings and shootings and muggings I’ve heard about.
I’m leaving this week and never setting foot back in Clapham ever again. I despise it. I think your website needs to offer a much more honest and realistic view. If there was a http://www.hateclapham.com, I would be posting a message on there too.
