Clapham ranked among top areas for families
Three estate agents based within London have been asked to reveal the best areas of the capital for young people with children and Clapham is one of those to be selected.
These estate agents were surveyed by MyLondon and one of those that took part was Orlando Reid. Speaking to MyLondon, the managing director of this estate agency, Jack Reid, stated that it was a tough query to answer due to the fact that every individual will have a personal favourite area. However he then went on to add that the section of London from Clapham Common to Wandsworth Common was among the top places to raise a family.
Indeed the nickname ‘nappy valley’ is frequently used to describe that area. This is a clear reflection of the widespread perception of it as being a family-friendly part of London.
The presence of useful services in Clapham like poster printing shops that can help to publicise events for families that are taking place in the area is another reason why it is a good district for them. Reid went on to say:
Other choices included Wimbledon, Wandsworth and Battersea.

“Running through the centre of the area you have Northcote Road offering a wide selection of shopping and eating choices. There are also some very good schools in the area both primary and secondary, state and independent.”
