About The Windmill
For visitors who want their hotel to double as a good local pub, The Windmill on Clapham Common South Side fits the bill nicely. It works well for a weekend in London where evenings matter as much as sightseeing, or for anyone who'd rather stay somewhere with a bit of atmosphere than a generic city-centre chain.
The 29 rooms are comfortable and well furnished, with some looking out over the common, and there's air conditioning, free WiFi and drinks available in room. Downstairs, the restaurant is a genuine draw, known for its Sunday roast, fish and chips and pies, with good vegetarian and gluten-free choices, while an honesty bar adds to the relaxed, sociable feel that the attentive staff help maintain. Guests also have use of a gym, spa and sauna, an indoor swimming pool, and facilities for business meetings or weddings.
Beyond the doors, Clapham Common itself offers space to walk off breakfast, and there are further pubs, bars and restaurants nearby for those keen to explore the local eating and drinking scene. Free on-site parking and airport transfer options make it a practical base as well as an enjoyable one.

What guests say
Comfortable bed, well stocked in terms of honesty bar, coffee, water, glasses. Iron and board. Safe etc. Decor a bit tired with all floors feeling like they could do with a deep clean. Reception staff friendly and helpful. This is a busy pub and restaurant so expect some noise but our room at the back overlooking the common was lovely and quiet. Service a little random but food is excellent and worth the wait - we had dinner and two breakfasts and quality of ingredients was super. I would happily stay here again.

We had family over from Australia who were keen to have a really nice Sunday roast, so we booked The Windmill. We had two children under the age of six and a five-month-old, and the service was exceptional. A staff member named Tom was really great. He was quick to help us with prompt flexibility and dealt with the children really well. For instance, when one of the kids wanted another colouring-in sheet, he was very quick to grab it for us. Overall, it was a really lovely experience with great food. Again, thanks to Tom for being such a great server. This was on Sunday, the 12th of July, so it was quite a busy environment. The space was great, really child-friendly, and we would recommend it and go again, as we have done before. Thanks very much.

Went for a beautiful birthday celebration lunch with our children and grandchild. We loved the ambience and decor. Food choices were excellent and perfect for a tasty, hearty lunch. The service was excellent on such a busy day and we must commend Tom for his excellent service, attention to detail and making sure our grandson was well catered for.
