Engagement in Clapham Junction

Our approach to engagement

People have the right to be involved in decisions about their places. Our approach to engagement for Clapham Junction has been informed by the our Raising the Bar community engagement guidance.

The Clapham Junction Community Panel (CJCP) brings together 22 local residents, business owners and community representatives from diverse backgrounds to meet monthly and provide informed feedback on the masterplan.

Alongside the panel, we are hosting community meetings open to everyone, creating space for dialogue, Q&A and collaborative activities.

We also use Commonplace, an online platform for sharing views and staying updated.

We will continue to run future consultations as the project progresses - ensuring ongoing opportunities for local voices to shape the future of Clapham Junction.

Clapham Junction Community Panel

The CJCP aims to ensure that the voices of residents and key community members are directly involved in shaping the future of the area, ensuring that the masterplan reflects the needs and aspirations of local people.

After receiving over 40 applications, in July 2025 we selected a diverse panel of 22 people.

The panel includes local residents from a range of backgrounds, experiences and interests. It includes young people, representatives of local groups/societies and local business owners.

What's involved

The CJCP meets monthly in Clapham Junction between July 2025 and March 2026.

Through workshops and discussion, the panel draws on the collective knowledge and interests of its members to provide informed, constructive feedback to help shape the design work undertaken by the design team, including WW+P Architects and Jas Bhalla Works.

This feedback will play a key role in guiding the development of ideas and strategies for the masterplan and shaping the direction of the project.

All sessions are chaired by the independent chair, Gurmeet Sian. Gurmeet is an award-winning architect and founder of Office Sian. The participants are paid London Living Wage for attending each meeting.

Community meetings

Alongside the community panel, we will be holding three open meetings in 2025/26 for everyone who wants to learn about the masterplan and contribute its development by providing local insights that can challenge and enhance the work by the design team.

Future community meetings

The next session will take place:

Date: Wednesday 18 February 2026
Time: 6 to 8pm
Location: St Peter's Church, Plough Road, SW11 2DE

Come along to help to shape the future of Clapham Junction.

Further community meetings will be planned as the project progresses. This page will be updated with more details once these are available.

What we have heard so far

A drop-in event targeted at Clapham Junction's business community was held in March 2024. The event was held in Battersea Library to give locals a chance to informally meet the design team and ask any questions during this early stage of the project.

In October 2025, over 80 local people gathered at St. Peter's Church in Battersea to take part in the first community meeting for the masterplan, chaired by Gurmeet Sian.

Cllr Aydin Dikerdem, Cabinet Member for Housing, spoke about the intentional shift in engagement strategy and emphasised the vital role of community voices in shaping the area’s future, followed by council officers who gave a general project update
Kate Neill-Sneller, Senior Sponsor from Network Rail, provided an overview of the station’s history, current challenges and long-term ambitions
Gesine Junker from WW+P, the lead consultant for the masterplan design team, presented the options explored during Stage 1 of the masterplan

The presentations were followed by a Q&A session and a group activity, where attendees contributed their views, priorities and suggestions for Clapham Junction’s development.
