London Clapham Tour - Clapham - Past, Present and...

New to Clapham? What better way to familarise yourself with this fascinating part of South West London than booking a walk with a Blue Badge Guide?

See the former house of Captain Cook, (discoverer of Australia), Charles Barry, (architect of the sublime Houses of Parliament), Henry Cavendish, (Planet Earth was first weighed from experiments at his house!) and the site where the London diarist, Samuel Pepys died.

Find out more about the characters involved in the Clapham sect - the organisation headed by William Wilberforce to abolish slavery, the impressive deep-air raid shelters dotted along the Common, (4 of the 8 built are in this part of London) and hear what makes Clapham the thriving, buzzing community it is today.
