For people not familiar with South London, Clapham Junction is a well-known / important railway transport hub. Locally it’s known as ‘The Junction’ and is a clever call back when the singer says he’s up the junction after his relationship with the girl from Clapham ends. The windy common he mentions in the first verse is most likely Clapham Common. It does have some local infamy as place where people can meet for liaisons – just Google Ron Davis Clapham Common.
