I think they're great for Clapham, but they do bring an awful lot of people to the Clapham Common area and the Highstreet. So I'm just wondering if people living in Clapham look on the festivals fondly or if you find the influx of people marginally annoying?

Absolute result on Sunday evening to take Archie for a walk and have Billy Bragg live on stage. The teams running them always seem to clear up and the festival people bring loads of cash to bars and restaurants (maybe Sainsburys should check the diary and make sure they have plenty of ice in...)

I think South West 4 was the first time I came to Clapham, and now I live here, so I definitely think they are excellent and really put Clapham on the map. The Ben & Jerry's festival was nicely done, and I'll be at SW4 this year too.

As a festival goer, the volume at the Common festivals is a bit low for my liking. Considering they always finish by 9pm I wish they could turn it up a little bit. As a resident I live on a road just off the common, but I don't think volumes would effect me, so can't speak for people on the Common.
