Clapham Park history

---

Thomas Cubitt bought 229 acres (0.93 km) of Bleak Hall Farm in 1825. The estate was planned to consist of large detached houses in Cubitt’s characteristic Italianate villa style. Some plots remained undeveloped at the outbreak of World War I. Rodenhurst Road, a street of semi-detached Edwardian houses, was laid out on the site.

Clapham Park West Estate

Oaklands House, Oakfield House, Clarence House and their associated grounds underwent much development as this area was heavily damaged during the Blitz . The area immediately to the east of the Estate had been developed by the London County Council in the 1920s as council housing, mostly in characteristic blocks of neo-Georgian brick flats . After 1945, most of the Cubitt houses were demolished and the northern part of the original area was redeveloped by the LCC in a different Modern Movement style .

Metropolitan Clapham Park

Metropolitan Clapham Park is an estate run in partnership with Metropolitan Housing . The housing association was formed following the stock transfer of the estate from the council to Metropolitan Housing in 2006 .

New Deals for Communities
