How do I encourage clover to conquer my grass lawn? (self.gardening)

Hi, in the UK here. My lawn has a few strong patches of clover which I'd like to encourage to take over the whole place.

For context, I am black-thumbed and the lawn is some rolled turf over terribly hard ?clay soil.

What do I do?

Buy seeds and start tossing it out in the lawn. I would buy both white and red clover. Clover seeds are cheap and come with a ton of seeds.

I'm not in the UK but I've been doing this for my yard. I've also been selectively not mowing over chunks of clover and letting it grow a bit before mowing it down.
