Tom Jansz leads this walk, tracing the history of Clapham Common from medieval grazing ground through place of recreation for eighteenth century incomers who built villas around it, associations with The Clapham Sect, witness to transformation from rural village to Victorian suburb, home of some notable residents, to its important community role in WW2, and finally to today's green recreation at the heart of our thriving and multi-cultural area.

This event is hosted by the Clapham Society.
