The Windmill

You'll find The Windmill tucked on the south side of Clapham Common, exactly where a local boozer should be. The kind of place where everyone seems to know each other without it feeling exclusive—just genuinely welcoming. On a Sunday, the roasts are the main event: proper Yorkshire puds, meat done right, all the trimmings. But this isn't pretentious gastro territory. It's a proper pub with real ales on tap, decent wines if that's your thing, and a crowd that's actually from round here rather than just passing through.
