About Clapham Common and the Bandstand:
In the centre of the Clapham Common is the Clapham bandstand constructed in 1890. It is the largest bandstand in London and a Grade II Listed Building. In 2005-2006, a full restoration of the bandstand and surrounding landscape took place, partly funded by an £895,000 lottery grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund matched by local fundraising efforts and the proceeds of the Ben and Jerry’s Summer Sundae event held on Clapham Common.  In the summer, there always seems to be an ice cream van around, but failing that, there’s a small cafe/bar right in the centre of the common.

Parking:
Parking around Clapham Common is tough at the best of times - most of the roads are resident permits only, and the rest are red routes. 

Transport:
Clapham Common tube station and Clapham South tube station are on the edge of the common.
