CLAPHAM HISTORY				CLAPHAM TAXIS AND MINICABS
Clapham began as a Saxon village. Its name was originally clopp ham, which meant the village (ham) by the short hill (clopp). In the Domesday Book Clapham was called Clopeham. Clapham's first suburban residents were attracted to the area by its easy access to London by stage coach (started in 1690), the clean air and water and, later, by the momentum brought to development by the enclosure of the common in the 1770s. Clapham's earliest settlers arrived to escape London's fire and pestilence of the 1660s and the village was given prestige by the residence of Samuel Pepys, diarist and naval administrator, from 1700 until his death three years later. Clapham Junction gets its name from the simple fact that it is close to the joining point of a number of major rail lines -- although the name is not shared by any junction near the station. The names of the nearby rail junctions are Falcon Junctio, Ludgate GW Junction, Latchmere Junction, West London Junction and Pouparts Junction.
