A greener and healthier future for Clapham
The Future Clapham scheme covers three sites in the town centre area.
- Clapham High Street - Mary Seacole House will be demolished to become a new state-of-the-art library with a customer centre, a cafe and performance space, alongside a new neighbourhood health facility.
- Clapham Leisure Centre - The new leisure centre on Clapham Manor Street will be on the site of the existing centre and will feature a 6-lane, 25-metre swimming pool with moveable floor, larger fitness suite, 4-court sports hall, climbing wall and dance studios.
- Old Clapham Library building- This building will be renovated and refurbished, with the ground floor developed as a community-run centre.
