Chestnut Grove is a popular residential street within the area of Clapham, known as
Clapham South.
Clapham appears in
Domesday Book as
Clopeham. In the late seventeenth century large
country houses began to be built there, and throughout the 18th and early nineteenth century it was favoured by the wealthier merchant classes of
the
City of London.
After the coming of the
railways, Clapham developed as a suburb for commuters into central London, and by 1900 it had fallen from favor with the upper classes. Many of their grand houses had been demolished by the middle of the twentieth
century, though a number remain around the Common and in the
Old Town, as do a substantial number of fine late eighteenth and early nineteenth century houses.
