I’m working near to Clapham Common for the next 12 days. I never knew it was so pretty.
This is going to be a relatively easy booking, but quite boring with nothing much to do. I may just get to start and finish (hopefully) my September blogs – it will all depend on whether or not my laptop is still operational.
From Wikipedia: At over 85 hectares in size, Clapham Common is one of London’s largest, and oldest, public open spaces, situated between Clapham, Battersea and Balham.
Clapham Common is mentioned as far back as 1086 in the famous ‘Domesday Book’, and it was originally ‘common land’ for the Manors of Battersea and Clapham. ‘Commoners’ – tenants of the Lords of the Manors, could graze their livestock, collect firewood or dig for clay and other minerals on the site“.
Whoop whoop, another Domesday Book place.
Lots of space for walking, and I’m planning on finishing the Ring Road Iceland by Wednesday next week 🤞🤞🤞 and starting the Romantic Road, Germany virtual challenge.
Tomorrow I shall go walkabout and look out for interesting architecture.
Not Just a Granny 
Clapham Common is such a pretty part of London especially at this time of year.
It’s lovely. I’ve only ever really seen Clapham from the train.. so this has come as a pleasant surprise
Yes, it’s very different from just passing all those platforms in Clapham Junction station isn’t it.
Completely different. The houses usually look dark and faintly menacing as you pass by, but I’m really happy to see the common. Lots of space for walking too
Wow, the autumn colours are gorgeous! Love that photo of the trees reflecting in the pond 🍂.
This year, the colours have been stunning..so vibrant I’m convinced that it’s coz of covid lockdown. The trees had a chance to breathe
Beautiful autumn photos.
Thank you. Autumn colours this year have been splendid
