Clapton is the poor cousin of [[Locale Hackney | Hackney]] and [[Locale Stoke Newington | Stoke Newington]]; it's to the north of the former and the east of the latter, sitting on the [[River Lea]] just over from [[Locale Walthamstow | Walthamstow]]. It has a [[The Crooked Billet, E5 8JU | pub]], a million corner shops and fast-food joints, and not a lot else. Clapton's only claim to fame is that it is home to the [[Murder Mile]]. |

Like its neighbouring areas, Clapton isn't on the tube network, but has a [[Clapton Station | surface rail station]], which is served by [[West Anglia Line (Walthamstow Branch)]] trains which [[WAGN]] occasionally sees fit to provide; these take about 10 minutes to get to [[Liverpool Street Station]] (stopping at [[Hackney Downs Station]] and [[Bethnal Green Rail Station]] en route), which is pretty convenient. There are also bus services; the 106 (Finsbury Park, Stoke Newington, Clapton, Hackney, Whitechapel), 253 (Euston, Finsbury Park, Stamford Hill, Clapton, Hackney, Whitechapel), 55 (Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road, Hackney, Clapton, Leyton), 38 (Victoria, Tottenham Court Road, Hackney, Clapton, elsewhere) and a few others. If you want to get a bus to a tube stop, your best bet is to get a 106 or 253 to [[Manor House Station]] or [[Finsbury Park Station]]. The useful night buses are the N55 and N38, both of which can be caught from stop Y outside [[Tottenham Court Road Station]]. |
