"Barking mad boffin and Clapham resident Henry Cavendish, had letterboxes installed in all his doors so his servants could write to him rather than converse directly. This strange behaviour did not stop him from achieving a feat that we all take for granted: the chemical composition of water and air!"
Clapham Common is the place to be in south west London when the sun's out.

What locals say about Clapham Old Town
“Great pubs, cafes, brunch on Sundays is the best, one of my favourite cafes is Fantasia, a small cafe in the middle of the Old Town, with really good prices, simple and nice food. There are a couple of designer furniture stores next door that make the whole experience really nice. Pubs wise, the list is endless. The Sun in the summer of course, No. 32 for a nice cocktail, the Bobbin for an award winning Sunday road - literally mentioned in TimeOut as the best in SW, etc. etc. Simply an amazing area. Come live here.”
