Welcome to
The Skylark Café
ON WANDSWORTH COMMON
Nestled within 170 acres of open space, The Skylark Café sits at the heart of Wandsworth Common. Our very first café—and the beginning of the Roots & Berries family—serving specialty coffee, all-day breakfast and brunch. Dog-friendly, family-friendly and welcoming to all.
The Common is woven into everyday life here, from feeding the ducks and weekend picnics to winter walks and long summer days outdoors. The Skylark is a natural meeting point, perfect for refuelling after a walk with friends.
Our summer BBQs on the terrace are hugely popular for special occasions, with flexible venue hire indoors and out throughout the year.
We can’t wait to see you.
Follow us @theskylarkcafe for updates.

Food & Drink
Join us seven days a week for all-day brunch, indoor and al fresco dining, or grab an artisan coffee and freshly baked cake to take away. All our food and drinks are freshly prepared by our chefs, bakers and baristas.
We’re fully licensed with wines, craft beers, spirits and seasonal cocktails. Our terrace overlooking Wandsworth Common is one of the most relaxed beer gardens in the area—perfect for long lunches and sunny afternoons with friends.
For younger guests, we have a children’s menu with familiar favourites, plus treats from the Roots & Berries Bakery and soft serve ice cream (during warmer months).
