The flat right on Clapham common was a wonderfully convenient place to stay for going ANYWHERE in London, north or south of the river. Very close to the bus stop for road travel and a very easy walk to the tube station. We stayed with my parents who are in their mid 70's (they are pretty fit) and had no trouble getting to and from the tube and navigating the stairs in the home. The flat was clean and well stocked with anything you would need for a comfortable stay. We were there for 5 nights and were very happy to have a very homely home base to return to at night.
