Hotels in Clapham

Brilliant Brunches

If you don’t fancy breakfast in your Clapham hotel, step out to start your days with lazy brunches instead. You’ll be spoilt for choice here. Had a big night out? Try Fantasia in Clapham Old Town. This cheap and cheerful cafe serves a menu of big breakfasts and will poach your eggs to perfection. Alternatively, head to Bread Etcetera on the high street which has become a Clapham institution. You’ll often find people queuing out the door to enjoy this café’s cosy atmosphere and generous food portions. And, with toasters on the table you can gorge on as much bread as you can stomach but we can’t resist the berry pancakes with fresh berries.

North to London, South to Brighton

With breakfast out of the way, you may be wondering what to do with the rest of your day? There’s another reason people have flocked to Clapham - it’s a busy hub with excellent transport connections to the rest of London and beyond. Take the short train ride into the city to explore all that London has to offer. Try a shopping spree on Oxford Street, see panoramic city views from the London Eye or The Shard and discover historic highlights such as the Tower of London. For a breath of sea air, it’s only 45 minutes on the train from Clapham Junction to Brighton. At this popular seaside resort, you can take a stroll along the beach, explore the pier attractions or wander the Lanes for vintage finds. 

Festivals on the Common
