Janet and John (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"This was a brilliant walk. I only know Clapham Common to drive through so it was good to see it on foot and learn more about it. Stephen King the guide was friendly, very knowledgeable and was quite passionate about his subject. I thoroughly recommend this walk to anyone."

Amy (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"The guided walk around Clapham Common was superbly led by Stephen King, who was warm, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. It was of ideal length and contained a wide range of contrasting stopping points along the way, covering local, national and even international history, as evidenced by the pause at the plaque on Holy Trinity Church in memory of William Wilberforce MP and his fellow abolitionists who worshipped at the church and lived in the locality. I recommend this walk without hesitation. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience."
