Common people
Article Abstract:
Clapham Common in London, England, attracts many different sorts of people. Some come to Clapham Common to fish in Mount Pond, while the area is also known to attract pimps and drug dealers. Clapham Common is visited in the middle of the night by gay men, who are often targeted by criminals. The area combines upper-class and lower-class streets. It has traditionally attracted the intelligent middle classes, but in recent years has gained a reputation for being rather sleazy. However, Clapham Common is still used by many ordinary people as a place of recreation.
