Clapham Traffic

There is slow traffic on Nightingale Lane, Clapham Common South Side (A24) and Battersea Rise, and reports of queues outside the petrol stations on both Nightingale Lane and the junction between Marjorie Grove and Clapham Common North Side.

This weekend is the last of Northcote Road's pedestrianisation.

Clapham Junction

The 10:06 from Clapham Junction to London Waterloo is cancelled due to a broken down train delaying its passage from Portsmouth & Southsea. The rest of the service is running to schedule.

The Northern Line

There is a good service currently operating on the Northern Line. For onwards travel, be aware of the Central Line (part closure), London Overground (part closure), Waterloo & City line (planned closure) and the Hammersmith & City line which is experiencing minor delays.

What's Happening in Clapham

Yesterday the new Pets at Home opened over in Clapham South, while to the north of town we visited CoCoMelon, the family run grocery store on Landor Road that's replaced pet shop Archie & Agnes.

Omnibus Theatre has announced even more shows in its Autumn 2021 season, though Peter Gill's play Small Change is in its second week and with Andy Rush in the role of Gerard having been nominated for Off West End's Award for Best Lead Performance in a Play, and Liam Bunster nominated for Best Set Design, by all accounts Small Change is The Must See.

Fact of the day

Your nostrils work one at a time. The duties of one nostril switch every several hours with one doing most of the work. The nasal cycle is dictated by the same autonomic nervous system that regulates your heart rate. This is why when our noses get stuffed up they do so one at a time.
