The Safe Space Wandsworth initiative in Clapham Junction provides a safe space for women and girls, or anyone who is feeling vulnerable.
You can find the Safe Space located outside the St John’s Hill exit of Clapham Junction station, every Friday night between 8-11pm.
This initiative is a joint venture between Wandsworth Council’s Community Safety Service and Partnership, the Metropolitan Police Service in Wandsworth, and the British Transport Police, supported by The Junction BID, and is designed to help people feel more at ease when enjoying the night time economy.
Members of the public can seek support and advice for all forms of violence against women and girls by using the gazebo to wait safely for onward transport or have a chat with officers and volunteers. Personal safety information, details of local support services and free personal safety resources are available.
If you ever need support or wish to seek advice about keeping safe on a night out, please drop by.
If you're ever feeling unsafe in a night-time venue, don't forget you can 'Ask for Angela'.
A night out should be fun, not frightening or intimidating. If you ever feel uncomfortable or unsafe in a bar, pub or nighttime venue, Ask for Angela.
Many venues in Clapham Junction now offer this discreet service. Simply ask a staff member for 'Angela' and they’ll know how to help.
Whether you need a friendly chat, help finding a taxi, or assistance with a more serious situation, staff are trained to offer support, without any fuss.
Your safety is important. Please don’t hesitate to ask for help.
