The Skylark Cafe is located in the heart of Wandsworth Common, next to the tennis courts. They have an all day brunch menu which includes avocado on sourdough, smoked salmon bagel and great coffee!

This restaurant serves brunch from 9am until 3:30pm. They are dog and family friendly, and have lots of outdoor seating. They also have some fantastic cakes! My favourite is the salted caramel and espresso cake (shown in the photograph below).

Be aware that on a Saturday morning the Toast Rack Bake House gets very busy. They have large booths inside but often you have to wait for a table. When we went we found the staff quite impatient and unhelpful. They told us to wait outside in the rain, and we ended up having to wipe down the chairs ourselves. In the end we got a booth inside, but we found the service very slow, and they forgot to bring my friend’s drink. The food however was delicious. Below are some photographs of our brunch.

Prestige Cafe is only a five minute walk from Wandsworth Common train station. It’s a small cafe, so might not be a good choice if you are with a large group. Out of all the restaurants I visited this was my least favourite, but I kept it in this list due to its close proximity to the station.

The restaurant opens at 7am and serves sandwiches, scrambled eggs, breakfast rolls, and homemade cakes. It’s the perfect spot if you are looking for a coffee shop close to the station, and they also serve a veggie breakfast which includes scrambled egg with avocado and spinach.

Please note – when I visited I was told they don’t always serve brunch, so if you plan on coming here, you might want to ring them first to check.
