What Wikipedia has to say about Clapham
“By the 1980s Clapham had undergone considerable transformation becoming the epicentre for the gentrification of most of the surrounding area. Clapham's proximity to the traditionally upper class areas of Sloane Square and Belgravia which became increasingly unaffordable to all but the very wealthy in the boom years of the 1980s and 1990s led to a colonisation of the area by the middle classes, but in recent years the demography has widened considerably. Clapham is now a highly sought after and attractive cosmopolitan area attracting people from all around the world. It is increasingly sophisticated and urbane in outlook and is regarded as one of London's trendiest and most desirable neighbourhoods south of the river. However, Clapham still retains a bit of its old 'edginess' and is somewhat of a multi-cultural melting pot and home to a considerably large gay community. Clapham has a vibrant community spirit with many professional single people and married couples choosing to live there. Many young university graduates also chose to live in the Clapham area, a tradition carried over from the days when some University of London halls of residence were located in the area."
