Welcome to Friends of Clapham Common

Welcome to the voluntary organisation committed to the protection and improvement of Clapham Common.

Founded in 1998 (see About the Friends) as a non-political association, the Friends of Clapham Common has been working on behalf of Clapham's residents and other users of the Common as well as the general public to improve its maintenance and enhance its facilities.

In co-operation with other local groups such as the Clapham Society and the SCRAG Enders, we are striving to ensure that there is a proper balance between informal use - from children and parents, dogs and dog-walkers, kite flyers, sports and recreation to just sitting on the grass and enjoying oneself - and organised events, from free football matches to paying pop concerts. We liaise with Lambeth Council and others to achieve this.
