About Clapham Grand

Grand venue for a cheery, beer-soaked night out. It's got a high-ceilinged, galleried hall and a luminous dancefloor that you might expect to find in the most sophisticated West End music venues. These days it plays host to the drunken, weekend antics of Clapham's amiable public school and Australian youth. More about Clapham Grand
