Read More...Thank you Gillian and Peter for this wonderful exchange. We loved the house and we really liked Clapham. We would not have explored this area otherwise and it definitely was a highlight for us to walk around there. We liked the red busses and we liked taking the Northern Line, even so my children did say, that they prefer Vienna´s underground on a daily basis. We had a very relaxing stay and wonderful sunny weather for our visits at the Tower of London and Hampton Court. We really loved Clapham!
