(Location:
Clapton Common is a three-quarters of a mile section of the A107 running
northwest from Upper Clapton Road to the road Stamford Hill (A10).
Clapton Common forms part of the actual boundary between Stamford Hill
and Upper Clapton, although the boundary has became blurred in recent
years. The North London district of Stamford Hill extending into Upper
Clapton, as well as parts of Stoke Newington, Tottenham and some
other adjoining
areas, include the largest
concentration of Haredi Jews in Europe, who generally tend to identify
as being part of the greater Stamford Hill community.) |
