At the risk of sounding like a Tory NIMBY (which I'm not) I've noticed an increase in the number of vagrant and alcoholics on the high street and its environs. You are generally accosted each time you come out of the tube or walk up to a cash point or come out of Sainsbury's. The proximity of Clapham's watering holes and prponderance of betting shops have not helped the cause. I have no problem with people of whatever description hanging around but it becomes problematic when you get harassed from time to time. I work in Angel and hardly will you find this scenario. Neither will you find it in Battersea or Balham. What's the problem with Clapham?

I have noticed a considerable increase over the last year, I think the problem lies with the over generous Claphamites, word gets around there is a good living to be  made  by the  naive locals by sitting outside Sainsbury's or under the  ATM. 
I'll never forget the day I was waiting for a m8 outside Sainsbury's near where the  bearded man and  dog lay, somebody dropped him a £1 coin just as the 'so called' vagrant's  mobile phone rang!!! he looked embarrased then stood up to the corner of the wall and answered it, If I was generous enough I'd buy him a top up card  :0)
