Local knowledge
Moving in Clapham: what changes the job
Clapham High Street and the South Circular round the Common do not allow stopping. We work from the residential streets, which are controlled zones on weekdays.
Clapham has more rented flat-shares than almost anywhere, and tenancies turn over at the end of the month. Those Saturdays book up first; ask early.
The Common divides Lambeth from Wandsworth. A suspension comes from whichever owns your bay; we tell you which.
