IF YOU'D LIKE TO DONATE A HOT DRINK: https://ko-fi.com/exploringlondon • Did you know Clapham is the inspiration behind several Disney films? You didn't, because that's not true. Learn what is true about Clapham* as Andrew takes in the Old Town, the intergalactically famous Infernos nightclub and the local Sainsburys. We talk about William Wilberforce freeing the slaves from his Clapham pad, how the Windrush generation started at Clapham South and why they wouldn't have ended up there had we had the money to build Crossrail in 1950. • *except the bit about the bars and restaurants I just made that up • Twitter: / andrewjd • Image of Clapham South Deep Level Shelter: used under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) courtesy of David Jones • Maps from OpenStreetMap • Thanks to Underground History (http://underground-history.co.uk) for their excellent website
