The  SW4 and SW9 area covers Stockwell and Parts of Clapham.In total 27 V1's and 2 V2's were to strike in this part of
London. Bad enough but a lower density than in some other regions,particularly those further to the South East.
about 72. died in the attacks
V1 & V2 logs SW4 and 9 Brixton and Clapham
Next area : SW11
It is fortunate that 4 of the V1's and 1 V2 fell on Clapham Common thus minimising the risk of casualties. It is also
interesting conjecture that the first 3 V1's on the Common fell over a 4 day period perhaps indicating that the Nazi's aim was
better than had been considered. They may have been aiming at the wrong spot but they seem to have been quite accurate in
their aim. The Kepler Road/Sandmere Road area on the Brixton border was hit by two V1's and suffered major damage. The
extent of this can clearly be seen today by the extent of the post war housing development in this neighbourhood. The area
endured 2 V2's one on the Common which caused major damage in the High Street and the Pavement and a second in
Rodenhurst Road which again devastated the area. There are no recorded casualties from either of these rockets which is
surprising when the extent of damage is considered,particularly at Rodenhurst Road.
