This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of Clapham Common Bandstand, a cherished landmark nestled within the lush greenery of Clapham Common in London. The image, taken by acclaimed photographer Derek Kendall for Historic England, invites us to step back in time and experience a moment of tranquility and communal joy.
