Post or Ask something here in 'Clapton' Clapton Checking on my birthplaceHi there My grandparents bought one of those old victorian houses in Clapton at the turn of the 19th century. My mother and her brothers were born there in the 20's and my brothers and I were born there in the 50's. I have not seen the place in many years and when I did it looked very sad. Could someone please let me know how it is fairing 1, Mildenhall Road, Clapton Thanks ' Post reply -->London Clapton Ronnie 22 Mar Clapton HIRINGI would like to hire out a venue for my 18th birthday -- preferably in the hackney area near to clapton. It would be great to get somewhere that isn''t over 18s because a lot of my friends will still be 17. Does anyone know of any good places? reasonably cheap (around the £200 mark) for the capacity of around 150-200 people? would be grateful if you could Mail-me Thanks Nina Post reply -->London Clapton Nina 9 Jan Clapton Glovers Dyers & CleanersDoes anybody recall this factory which used to be at the top end of Lea Bridge Road in the 1950s & 60s. Are there any pictures,adverts or other memorabilia available anywhere ? Thanks Post reply -->London Clapton JRS 4 Dec ^ Clapton Glovers, 2a Lea Bridge Rd.Hi JRS. If you scroll down this page to the last of 3 posts regarding the Lord Clyde pub, the chap who posted it told me that his parents had something to do with the business. I have 2 photos which I took about 1969/70 of the Lea Bridge/Lower & Upper Clapton junction before they demolished all the shops to make way for the round-a-bout. My dad was also the postman for Lea Bridge for several years. Ken Post reply -->London Clapton Ken 14 Dec ^ Clapton Glovers Dyers & CleanersI dont have any memorobilia but I am related to the Glovers who owned this business and would be interested in any information about it that you may have. I can help with the names of some of the family.

Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Simon 31 Oct Clapton The Lounge, The Nightingale CentreClapton Mount Pleasant Lane Upper ClaptonMy boyfriend and I have seen a flat that we've fallen in love with on Mount Pleasant Lane - the street seems quiet and safe but we have only been there during the day. I am a little worried about the reputation of crime in the area and just wondering if anyone can share their experiences - we're worried it might get dodgy at night but I can't see how as it just seems so lovely and quiet...Thanks! Post reply -->London Clapton 28 Jul ^ ClaptonI wouldn't consider this are if i were you! Racial tension and violence have been a prominant factor for at least 20 years. I've lost track of the murders rapes and muggings that have occurred opver the years and I was never one to read the local newspapers so what i am aware of is by word of mouth and is propbably just the tip of the ice-berg. Ps you'll be kept awake at night by emergency sirens! Post reply -->London Clapton 15 Jul ^ Clapton Mount Pleasant HillI've been living on this street for 5 years and despite multiple warnings of gang tension etec etc .. I have never been threatened let alone mugged or attacked. I wouldn't advise walking around the area alone after dark if you are female though. Get a bicycle. Post reply -->London Clapton 25 Aug ^ Clapton Clapton is fineI live near the pond and have a two year old and can really say there's no problem safety wise so long as you're good at dodging the traffic and don't wander around really late at night alone - even that is probably fine, but I would be a bit cautious. Since they recently closed down the nightclub permanently, it should hopefully lose the name murder mile soon too. It was the club that attracted most of the violence. Post reply -->London Clapton 8 Jun ^ Clapton Should I move to Clapton??I'm a 27 year old single femal and I've found a house share on Durlston Road in Clapton which is very good value. After hearing all the negative views on the area I'm really not sure I should more there. It is near Upper Clapton Road which I've heard is dodgy. Should I forget the place and move somewhere else?? Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Indianna 26 Jun Clapton Hi!I`m Joanna. I`m 21 and i live in Clapton^_^Hi everyone. I`m Joanna and i just moved here from Poland.

I look forward hearing from You. Bye Post reply -->London Clapton joannaa85@yahoo.co.uk 6 Jun Clapton Is Clapton Pond ok?Hi, I have found a lovely room in a beautiful restored Victorian house in Clapton Pond and I'm moving in next week. The street seemed quiet and safe to me... but I realise it's near Upper Clapton Rd, ie "Murder Mile"! The reviews of Clapton here seem quite mixed. If you make sure you don't walk around after dark, is it fine living around Upper Clapton? Please reply here if you have any advice. Thanks. Post reply -->London Clapton JCartwright 2 May ^ Clapton this is NOT murder mileMurder mile is Homerton High Street, not the Upper Clapton Road. Post reply -->London Clapton James Mann jamez_4@hotmail.com 20 Aug ^ Clapton oh dear...I might be moving to Clapton - the part that's closer to Stamford Hill than Homerton - and it really does not seem promising. The whole 'murder mile' thing gets to me as I'm a 23 year old female who likes to go out and see friends at night. And I was going past the area on the bus the other day and it seemed pretty desolate - nothing going on except churches, council estates and big Victorian houses. What about the libraries, leisure centres, cafes, shops, markets? Looks like I'll have to fulfil those needs in Stoke Newington, or better yet, don't move at all... but I need to save the money in this uncertain economic climate. Post reply -->London Clapton lily36 26 Oct ^ Clapton H-townSorry but ur all wrong last week i was stabbed three times. Thats the real side of clapton. Its not called murder mile 4 no reason Post reply -->London Clapton S 6 Jun ^ Clapton Check your facts!Murder mile is nothing to do with Homerton! Its is Upper and Lower Clapton Rd, and earned this name during a spate of killings in 2001. Post reply -->London Clapton 6 Oct Clapton The ultimate move...I've just swapped my small flat in posh Kensington for a huge grand Victorian villa in Clapton....what a difference. Clapton is cool, the people are nicer, the restaurants more interesting, the green spaces less crowded and the communte to town a breeze. Don't think twice about moving to Clapton, choose a nice street, make friends with your neighbours and you'll feel part of a real community where everyone is accepted. Much better than Kensington! Post reply -->London Clapton Poshgit 23 Apr Clapton Does anyone know of BrunoHi, I am doing some family research for a friend and am trying to local a family that lived in Clapton E5 around the 1920s. The father was a hairdresser with the surname of Bruno and of Italian ancestry. Can anyone supply information Post reply -->London Clapton Liz 28 Mar ^ Clapton BrunoI used to live with a PETE BRUNO brought up in Hackney I think with an italian mother and Hungarian father. he lives in italy now but i have his email address.....any use? Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Cathy 18 Apr Clapton DETMOLD ROAD E5Hi could any1 email me any info on this part of hackney...im a single mum n may b moving there form islington! !not sure if im doing the right thing...thanks x Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton tj 25 Mar Clapton How safe is Clapton ???I am considering buying a very nice three bedroom flat on Narford Road (E5) with my girlfriend. However, I am worried about the safety of this particular area, and I obviously know that some areas of Clapton can be quite dangerous (as people have commented on this site). Narford Road seemed quiet and tranquil in the daytime but I have not visited it in the evening. Also, how safe would it be walking home from the train station (either Rectory Road or Stoke Newington) in the evening ? My instinct is telling me to avoid buying here because of Clapton's reputation. However, I really like the flat. I would be grateful for some sensible advice. Thanks. Email me at : Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton John 12 Mar ^ Clapton Clapton safetyI'm a 28 year old female and i've rented a room in clapton for the last 2 years. i live on evering road - not sure exactly where the road you mention is but they're both E5. Anyway, at first i did feel scared here but i have never encountered any problems at all. i don't walk around late at night but i wouldn't do that anywhere other than the city centre to be honest. Generally, it is really quiet in Clapton, much more so than Hackney Mare St or Dalston. I wouldn't let it put you off purchasing a house here. I've just bought a flat in bethnal green [ex-council] and i'm experiencing the same worries about crime. If i could buy the lovely flat i live in now i definitely would! Post reply -->London Clapton 26 Mar Clapton Clapton, Safe Area??I have just got a job in Clapton but am very worried about taking it purely for the location. I will be commuting in central london and feel the area is not safe for me to travel allown. Please can someone clear this up for me?? Post reply -->London Clapton CW 4 Feb Clapton New friendsHi, I've been living in Clapton for a few months now because i found a nice, cheap place to live. However, I haven't gone out much around the area and find myself out in the city where i work, then going home to sleep. I am a 24 year old male and enjoy bars and pubs and, socialising generally i suppose. So if anyone is in the same boat, or just fancies a drink with someone new, email me! Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Simon 12 Jan Clapton The Lord ClydeDoes anybody know what happened to The Lord Clyde public house in Lower Clapton Road or the tenants Minnie & Fred Stubbs (my auntie & uncle)? Any info or dates would be appreciated. Post reply -->London Clapton Peter Brice 9 Jan ^ Clapton The Lord ClydeWhere in Lower Clapton Road was this pub? As the only pub of this name that I can remember was in Clapton Way. I have a photo of this one taken before it's demolition in the late 60's. Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Ken 10 Oct |
