Post or Ask something here in 'Clapton' Clapton Is Upper Clapton Safe?I am thinking of moving to Upper Clapton from London Fields as we have been priced out of the market to buy a whole house. Does anyone have any good advice as to what the area around the station is like and should I be jumping at the house of our dreams or running for my life? Post reply -->London Clapton Jenner-renner 28 Sep Clapton is it safe to get the bus at night in Clapton?Hi there, My boyfriend and I are considering moving to E5 but he is a policeman, and would need to travel back from Kentish Town on the night bus quite regularly. I'm really worried that that won't be safe. Any thoughts? Post reply -->London Clapton Katy 17 Jun ^ Clapton hiMy opinion in this is, there are risks, like crime, theft etc, however shouldn't stop you from doing what you want, at least give it a try, I've lived in places where they are know to be dangerous but have survive, actually the crime rate is declining around the area and there's always police around, so please don't be discoursged by people with no purpose in life but to destroy others, I'll be also moving around that area soon, and I'm a single woman I'm not scared of these hooligans they not going to stop me. Good luck Post reply -->London Clapton 25 Nov Claptonhi, Me and my husband are looking to swap our 2 bedroom flat with a big garden. our flat is situated in queensbridge road, its a very nice clean and quiet estate full of people from all diffrent backgrounds. we are looking for a 3 bedroom flat or house in clapton area if possible detmold road, if anyone is intrested please email me and let me know as soon as possible. my email address is: Mail-me Thank you Post reply -->London Clapton 14 Jun Clapton Motorcycle Storage or GarageHi, I am looking to buy a new sports bike, but due to the vandalism and attempted thefts I have experienced on my old one, I want to keep it in a secure garage or storage place. Are there any availabe around the Hackney Downs/Lower Clapton Road area? I would happily rent a bit of shared garage space or something like that. Any ideas? Thanks Dom Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Dom 24 Mar Clapton Moving to ClaptonHi, My son and his partner are really interested in buying one of the Altius Wimpey homes , in Mount PLeasant, but know nothing about this part of London. From all the blurb it seems as if one day the area will be rejuvenated not least because of the Olympics and Stratford Station. But, is it a good place to live. My sons partner will be working at Homerton Hospital. There seems to be mixed reports about crime and Im wondering if any of you have recently moved into the area or have lived there for a while and would share their views with me. Many Thanks Post reply -->London Clapton Chrissy Bainbridge 22 Feb | These aren't commercial ads below: they are a rotating selection of postings contributed by MoveThat.com users in the last 24h. |
 | ^ ClaptonHaving lived on the border between Lower Clapton and Homerton for 10 years the area as a whole has changed greatly,and for the most part much improved during that time. Regarding its reputation for crime etc, whilst not crime free it is certainly no worse( in my experience ) than the rest of London - the advantages of this area FAR outweigh the disadvantages. Hackney as a borough is a much better place to live in than "they" would have us believe - there are a huge variety of green open spaces , good & improving transportation links , a vibrant / diverse community , interesting independant shops ,restaurants to suit all tastes & budgets, not to mention the nightlife of Shoreditch & the newly cool Dalston, plus the Olympics to come. Check it out whilst its still relatively affordable Post reply -->London Clapton 5 Apr ^ Clapton Love it hereI've lived in clapton for the past year and I love it. I have a lot of friends in the area and none of us have personally been victims of crime and we are often on the streets late at night walking alone from each other's houses. The area is poor though and with that comes the odd shooting, but this is internal gang related crime and shouldn't be a problem for your son. Only last week there was a shooting in the chinese on Chatsworth Road (beside homerton hospital...has a good patisserie and cafe) but nobody died, well except maybe from food poisoning - the chinese is pretty rough! I love hackney! Post reply -->London Clapton Clapton David 26 Feb Clapton Sgt Gerard John Head - WW2I am researching the crew of a RAF Halifax Bomber who were killed 25/04/44. One of the crew Gerard John Head lived in the Clapton / Leytonstone area. I am looking to contact any family relatives who may be able to help with information or a photograph of him. thanks, Mike Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Mike 21 Oct Clapton Running Club in Clapton?Does anyone know of a current running club around the E5 area? Any info would be much appreciated. Mail-me Post reply -->London Clapton Mary 18 Aug Clapton Council TaxAny idea what's the average council tax for 4 bedroom houses around Clapton? Post reply -->London Clapton 1 Jun Clapton LATHAM YARD E5 is it a safe placeI am thinking of moving to Latham Yard E5. I like the new flats and the transport system from Clapton Station to the City, but am scared of the crime, incase their is any in the area. I need advise about the area, the flats are very big for the new build. The Safer Neighbourhood Team in Clapton are they visible, and show a visible presence in the area Post reply -->London Clapton Vince Philips 10 Apr ^ Claptoncrime in clapton is just like anywhere these days, but generally stay away from the bookies on clapton pond and the cricketeers arms just around the corner, full od drug dealers, thats where most of them hang out and do thier deals. Most people inthe area are hard working god fearing people though, with a mix of cultures from black, to muslim, to turkish and Irish Post reply -->London Clapton 14 Feb Clapton Clapton safetyI'm thinking of buying a flat in a new development on Kenninghall Road, about 5-10 mins from Rectory Road St. and same again from Clapton st.

Post reply -->London Clapton Katerina 4 Feb Clapton Home of the Holy Child?My Grandmother used to live in an orphanage in Clapton Common, number 19 I think, this would be in the 1930's. It was run by nuns. Does anyone have any information about the place please?

Post reply -->London Clapton stan pos. 26 Mar Clapton Kick-boxing club in ClaptonHello, does anyone here use the kick-boxing centre next to Clapton pond? I am thinking of going but I've never done it before (in fact, never done sport before!!) and female - I was wondering if it was just for people who are more serious about it? Anyone know how welcoming it is there? Thanks! Post reply -->London Clapton 4 Jan ^ Clapton KO kick boxingI've been there and it's a very good club. Would highly recommend. It's hard work but beginners aren't expected to smash each others faces in. No sparring for beginners and it seemed like a decent crowd. You do get your hardcore fighters but they won't be there to intimidate, just support. Go for it and good luck, it's knackering D Post reply -->London Clapton DG 4 Jun Clapton NO ITS NOTno its not dodgy at all i live there the only things the youths are intrested in are gettin at each ova if ur not frm da same area and sellin drugs 2 make a bit of money ... they really wont touch u as long as u mind ur own buisness ... and yh theres guns and so on but they aiint out 4 u and they wont rob u or anyfing they rob each ova lol .... sme 4 da stabbins n shootins ... deyre not intrested in you as far as theyre concenred ur just anova passer by who lives there ....
