Chango Empanadas Clapham Common

You're walking past the restaurants and bars lining The Pavement when you clock Chango's corner spot. It's got that unpretentious neighbourhood vibe that Clapham does well—the kind of place where locals actually eat, not just Instagram. The empanadas are the real deal: golden, flaky pastry cases filled with proper ingredients like slow-cooked beef, spinach and cheese, or chicken. It's casual enough for a weeknight dinner with friends, but the quality of what's inside those pastries makes it feel like someone actually cares. Pair them with a cold Argentinian beer and you've got yourself a proper meal without the fuss.
