Clapham Traffic
Battersea Rise is already pretty beastly, with the one-way A205 around the west of Clapham Common moving very slowly.
Clapham Junction
There is a good train service operating through Clapham Junction.
Six months of lift upgrades at Clapham Junction begins on Monday, and passengers who require step-free access are advised to check when the lift they require will be out of action for this maintenance.
The Northern Line
The Northern Line continues on in its near-three week streak of good service provision. For onward travel, please note minor delays on the Circle Line due to train cancellations, and also the Metropolitan Line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge / Amersham / Watford for the same reason.
Catch up on Clapham
Local residents oppose a new bar on Battersea Rise where existing venues already mean they encounter "vomit, urine and even human faeces" on an almost daily basis.
Darwin and Wallace, which owns No. 32 in Clapham Old Town, has applied to change the use of 35-37 Battersea Rise but among the 28 objections, residents have raised fears including rubbish piling up, increased traffic, the impact on children's sleep and the risk posed to property values.
What's Happening in Clapham
South London's freshest female-led artists continue to shine in Women Do South at The Bread & Roses Pub.
Fact of the day
There are some 50 bird and bat boxes installed across Clapham Common. Fixed high up on trees, they are not easy to spot. Each one is mapped and monitored to see if population numbers are increasing - the intention is for them to offer protection from crows and rooks which eat the chicks and bat pups.
