Clapton, Middlesex
Clapton is a former hamlet that is now an urban area in the metropolitan district of Hackney, Middlesex. Clapton (until the 18th century 'Clopton') developed as a road-side linear settlement in the ancient parish of Hackney, to the north of Hackney and Homerton. From the early 19th century, manorial courts distinguished the parts north and south of Lea Bridge Road as Upper and Lower Clapton, a distinction which continues into the present day. The area is within the council area of Hackney.
