This phenomenon is not only due to the suburbia-feel surroundings of the public tennis courts at Clapham Common Westside and being in "Nappy Valley" zone, but in large part probably due due to finally having a British tennis Grand Slam tournament winner. Andrew Murray winning Wimbledon in 2013, as the first British male since the late great Fred Perry's in 1936 is a monumental feat. A forerunner to that climax event was another grand sporting occasion of all great sporting occasions, "The 2012 London Summer Olympics".
Clapham and Balham Tennis Aficionados
Access to those Clapham tennis courts via Nightingale Lane (described by estate agents as a leafy lane of suburbia), is an affluence befitting the high culture of tennis. Neighbouring the Clapham tennis courts is the border of Balham so strictly speaking we will refer to the area as Clapham and Balham. And broadly the district is in the boroughs of Lambeth and Wandsworth respectively. The neighbourhood residents may have seen the former British tennis No.1 Andrew Castle in the area, or on his way to commentary during Wimbledon fortnight and his presenter jobs in television and radio. Also living nearby and spotted at Wandle Leisure Centre among other spots in nearby Wandsworth Town is Annabel Croft - a lush darling of British women's tennis exemplifying the English rose of beauty. And not too shabby at tennis either, as some would say! Talking of affluent tennis society in suburban Clapham and Balham, on the borders of Conservative Party flagship Wandsworth Borough and Labour-run Lambeth Borough is a knighted hedge fund supremo's residence. Sir Michael Hintze is a lesser known Australia-descended resident in Clapham, spotted hob-nobbing with Royalty and V.I.Ps at the Royal Wedding of Kate and William, also in lucky 2013! He is founder of wealth management business CQS.
