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?

Clapton Motorcycle Storage or Garage  

Hi, 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

Clapton Moving to Clapton  

Hi,
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

Clapton  

Having 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

Clapton Sgt Gerard John Head - WW2  

I 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

Clapton  

crime 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

Clapton Kick-boxing club in Clapton  

Hello,
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!

Clapton KO kick boxing  

I'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

Hello to those of you who've been wise enough to settle in Clapton. I love the area and as such have just bought a flat 2 minutes from the Pond. Can anyone advise me of their favourite/local drinking establishments? Also any restaurants you may like to frequent?

Thanks for any information you can provide (I'm clearly getting my priorities straight!)

Clapton Checking on my birthplace  

Hi 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

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.
