Uncle Tom's Cabin is still on the corner of Portslade Road and Wandsworth Road, though it has been considerably altered - and now has an apostrophe rather than simply the gap for one, and is a Sandwich Bar and Coffee Shop, with a few seats on the pavement. It now serves a wider range of foods; coffee didn't even get a mention in 1981, but is now served in six variations, with a flat white for £2.00 last year. Even ten years ago the choice was simply coffee and it was 80p. Clapham has become gentrified.

Across the road is Wandsworth Road Station, which used to be a rather obscure stop on the slow twice an hour service from Victoria to London Bridge (with a once a week early morning service from and to Kensington Olympia.) Now it gets four trains an hour each way on as a part of the London Overground, running much more usefully from Clapham Junction to Highbury and Islington though no longer serving some of the south east London stations on its previous route.
