	Victorian London - Entertainment and Recreation - Parks, Commons and Heaths - Clapham Common
		Clapham Common is of course one of the most accessible rendezvous for these itinerant vendors but certain industries are more particularly successful on this spot.
		During the season they flock to the Common; though the demand for the class of portrait they produce is of so constant a character, that one photographer at least has found it worth his while to remain in the neighbourhood even during the winter.
		Altogether it will be seen that the commons and open spaces in and about London, are not merely useful in maintaining the health of the population, and as affording some space for recreation; but they also open out new fields of industry for those who earn their living out of doors.
