Upper Clapton is a district in the London Borough of Hackney. It is bounded by the Hackney districts of Stamford Hill to the west, Lower Clapton and Lea Bridge to the south and the Haringey district of South Tottenham to the north. To the east is the River Lee, on the other side of which is the expanse of the Walthamstow Marshes, part of which is in the Lee Valley Park.

As is frequently the case with London districts, these boundaries are quite fuzzy. Western parts of the area are often listed as being part of Stamford Hill, understandable perhaps because the Hassidic Jewish community of Stamford Hill extends across the border, and the imposing New Synagogue is part of the area. And scenic areas such as Springfield Park are also sometimes incorrectly assigned to neighbouring Lea Bridge.

Part of the blame for this may also lie in the fact that Upper Clapton as a whole has traditionally had high crime rates, but it has to be said that much of this has been concentrated around the Upper and Lower Clapton Roads, frequently nicknamed 'Murder Mile', which actually extends into neighbouring Lower Clapton. The centre of violent crime has traditionally been the Lower Clapton roundabout, which came complete with pedestrian subways of ill repute that have now been closed.

But to the north and east, Upper Clapton is surprisingly peaceful and leafy. This is, in many respects, one of the most photogenic districts of Hackney.

One of the most pleasant amenities in Upper Clapton is Springfield Park, which backs on to the Lea River to the east. This was created in 1905 out of the extensive grounds of three mansions, of which only Springfield House survives, now known as the White House Mansion and housing the Spark Café. The park has five tennis courts, a cricket pitch and a nature reserve. Next to Springfield Park is the Springfield Marina, a packed mooring for narrowboats and other waterway craft.

Aside from the mansion, another—and very popular—survivor is the Anchor and Hope pub at the southeast corner of the park. The area along the Lea was heavily bombed in the second world war, and the pub is one of the few survivors of the terraced housing that once dominated the area. It is now quite overshadowed by pre- and post-war flat blocks.

Besides Springfield Park, Upper Clapton is delineated to the west by the long leafy strip of Clapton Common, distinguished by the reedy Clapton Pond (not to be confused with Clapton Ponds, two much smaller ex-reservoirs in Lower Clapton). The pond is a favourite with bird watchers—besides the usual variety of ducks, geese and swans, such shy birds as grebes and other waders may often be seen feeding in the reedbeds.

Upper Clapton is home to one of London's more unusual churches, the Church of the Good Shepherd, now used as a place of worship by the Ancient Catholic Church. However, the church was originally built by the Agapemonite cult in 1892 as the Church of the Ark of the Covenant.

Close by the Good Shepherd, but rather more dignified, is the stately New Synagogue. This Grade 2 listed building is a little deceptive, appearing much older than it actually is. In spite of its handsome Georgian-style exterior, this is actually post-Edwardian, built in 1915. It is, however, a faithful replica of an earlier building, the Great St Helen's Synagogue in the City of London, which was designed by John Davies in 1838. The current building contains a number of original fixtures from its predecessor.
