Boutique pub stays overlooking Clapham Common

The Windmill overlooks the leafy expanse of Clapham Common and offers something increasingly rare in London: the feel of a characterful neighbourhood pub, plenty of green space outside and 42 boutique bedrooms upstairs. Inside, the mood is warm, lively and unmistakably pub-like. Settle in for a pint at the bar, linger over brunch, tuck into a Ginger Pig steak or gather around the table for one of the pub’s generous Sunday roasts. When the weather behaves, the garden and outdoor spaces come into their own. Both Clapham Common and Clapham South Underground stations are around a five-minute stroll away, putting the West End and central London sights within easy reach, while Battersea, Brixton and some of South London’s best neighbourhoods are close by.

Telegraph Travel wrote: “As one of the best boutique hotels in the area, The Windmill is well located for exploring central London and enjoying Clapham Common. Each room sports distinct style, combining bookish details with modern amenities.”
