Clapton is a really nice neighbourhood with small parks and churches. There are nice cafes and pubs as well. As the gentrification spreads out, Clapton gets more and more hipsters and trendy pubs. It's a relaxed place that is a good option for close by Hackney Central and Dalston, which may be really busy at times. Clapton seems to have taken a leap from poor neighbourhood to family friendly neighbourhood with lots of small parks and quiet streets. Nevertheless, there's lots to do even from people from elsewhere.
