The Common Room - Menu

Had a great breakfast and it was a good portion! Cute cafe in a good location! And was nice to sit outside in the sunshine!

Small unassuming cafe that does very good breakfasts. Great sausages and the scrambled eggs are world beating. I suggest you don't miss it.

Fantastic food that makes want to come back and try everything in the menu. We enjoyed the big english breakfast, the porridge, the pancakes, eggs benedict, eggs royal, omlette... All delicious!!!

Had the eggs celestine, a variation on eggs benedict but with chorizo and avocado, nice change and they also have a really wide range of dishes including all the usual favourites. Note it is cash only

The food is simple nice enough but the staff are something else! They are so rude and look at you like you have inconvenienced their day, and are very ill mannered. AVOID! Plenty of other breakfast brunch places in Clapham and Balham.

Six of us were staying close by for three nights and had our breakfasts here every morning. We all varied what we had and were all delighted with everything. The porridge servings are huge, with fruit on the top. Enough to keep you going all day.

My boyfriend and i after stumbling on this cafe now come regularly. Everything from the decor to the food works perfectly. Delicious! Couldn't recommended a better place for breakfast in Clapham or Balham ! Also v reasonably priced for the wide variety of breakfast.

We staid just across the street from this family owned small restaurant and we were so lucky to find it. From the street it might not attract your attention, but once you go in you realize it is just the perfect place to have a completely English experience. For the 3 days we staid in London, we started our days there. The menu is quite diverse and the coffee is really good. The service is very good and you can notice how much the locals appreciate this place in their way of behavior. They always entered the place smiling and greeting the owner. The prices are just ok, but the food is very good.

My husband and I chanced upon the Common Room before leaving London later that day. Walking distance from Clapham Common, it is a quaint locale for breakfast offering a variety of items from the hearty (full English breakfast) to the healthy (smashed avocado on toast). There are not many tables, perhaps about 7 of them. However, this made for a cozy atmosphere. My husband ordered the complete big breakfast and I ordered the eggs Florentine, each with cappuccino and tea respectively. My husband was very pleased with his meal, generously plated and not greasy like many English fry ups that are the norm. For mine, the hollandaise sauce was exquisite and I appreciated the healthy amount of spina...
