Truly lovely little cafe in the middle of Wandsworth Common. Perfect if you just want a coffee to carry on your day, but if you're interested in food, though their offerings may look limited, they're all delicious! Having only tried a couple items, I can't say this with complete certainty, but will absolutely be coming back to put my money where my mouth is. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area, you won't regret it! Pictures posted are the Skylark breakfast and their current Pink Velvet Hot Chocolate, which my wife was very happy with.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Skylark Café in Wandsworth Common is a lovely spot with stunning views across the common, creating a really nice ambience The food is great, and I especially enjoyed the tasty mushroom soup. It’s dog-friendly, which is fantastic, and there’s free parking at the weekend, making it very convenient However, the benches could use some attention as they wobble, which makes eating a bit uncomfortable. Overall, a great place to visit, and I’d highly recommend it!
