One of the most pleasant amenities in Upper Clapton is Springfield Park, running down the hill eastwards to the Lea. This park was created in 1905 out of the extensive grounds of three mansions Clapton is socially diverse and vibrantly multicultural. Chatsworth Road, which had a regular market until the 1990s, still provides many amenities for people who live in the area. The shops and restaurants on Chatsworth Road reflect the diversity of the surrounding streets - offering African, Turkish, Asian and Caribbean produce alongside butchers, bakers and greengrocers. Lower Clapton enjoys a surprising amount of green space for a district of inner London. sourced from wikipedia
