The Skylark Café
Dog-friendly cafe on Wandsworth Common with great coffee and brunch.
The Skylark Café is a café on Wandsworth Common, off Dorlcote Road in SW18 3RT. It opened in April 2014, taking over the existing park café, and is the first café in the Roots & Berries family. It sits within 170 acres of open space.
The café serves specialty coffee, all-day breakfast and brunch, with indoor and outdoor seating and cakes and coffee to take away. It is fully licensed, with wines, craft beers, spirits and cocktails, and has a terrace overlooking the common. There is a children's menu and a traditional afternoon tea, and the café hires its indoor and outdoor space for events and celebrations.
For dog owners, the café describes itself as dog-friendly, and Paws of London records dogs welcome indoors as well as outdoor seating. The owners say they set out to create a dog-friendly café, and the common is used for morning dog walks. Wandsworth Common station is about 10 minutes on foot, with Clapham Junction around 17.
