John Nyhan, of Ingrave Street in Wandsworth, pleaded guilty at Kingston Crown Court this week to three sexual assaults.
He had previously pleaded guilty to harassing a 13-year-old girl in Stormont Road on Thursday, January 23.
Three girls, two aged 14 and one aged 15, reported being assaulted by a man while they walked near the green area earlier this year.
Metropolitan Police Detectives linked the assaults, which were committed between January 8 and February 4, in the Clapham Common area.

Detective Inspector Aaron Moon, whose team led the investigation, said: “Nyhan remains in custody until his sentencing following his guilty plea.
“We know that his offending has caused a lot of concern locally and I hope that his conviction will allay some of those fears.
“It’s possible that Nyhan may have committed further offences that have not yet been reported to police and I would encourage anyone who is yet to speak with us to please come forward.”
Nyhan will be sentenced at Kingston Crown Court on Thursday, April 10.
