I want to live in… Clapton

Would you want to live in an area dubbed “murder mile” only a few years ago? No, well you are in the minority. There is nothing like middle class gentrification to bring down the crime rate. It is almost as if the local hoodlums are too embarrassed to commit crime next to a graphic designer with a handlebar moustache; ruins their street cred.

So Clapton is yet another area conquered on the hipster map. The sun never sets on the Hackney empire.

Anyway I digress, the area is a mix mostly of Victorian terraces, small postwar estates and a few Georgian properties around Clapton pond. New bars/restaurants etc are starting to pop up all the time.

Famous for

Still the murder mile; I guess. Also in an episode of satirical TV show Brass Eye which claimed that the petrol station in Clapton is shoplifted every 30 minutes.

Positives

If you liked Dalston ten years ago, then you will like Clapton now. Springfield Park, which extends down the hill eastwards to the River Lea is lovely.

Negatives
