Clapham is a town in North East Bedfordshire, England.
Clapham is semi-rural and lies on the outskirts of the town of Bedford near the River Great Ouse. The A6 road formerly passed through the town but a bypass was opened in 2003, named after Paula Radcliffe who attended the nearby Sharnbrook Upper School .
It has numerous public houses and several small shops. It also has its own primary school for children aged 4-9 (Ursula Taylor Lower School).
Twin Woods, an airfield on the western outskirts of the village, is where Glenn Miller took off from on his last fateful voyage.
Clapham also has several churches.
