Travellers describe The Windmill On The Common as a characterful pub-hotel on Clapham Common with friendly staff, comfortable beds and quiet rooms, plus easy access to buses and the tube for exploring nearby neighborhoods.
Many appreciate the park-side setting, local cafes and shops, though reaching major attractions can take longer than staying centrally. Several reviews note aging decor and maintenance or cleanliness issues, including dusty rooms, mouldy bathrooms and occasionally sour or off milk in in-room fridges. The on-site restaurant and pub earn frequent praise, while breakfast feedback ranges from very good to disappointing. Expect warm service, characterful rooms, and a comfortable stay with some wear.

This is an older building currently (summer 2024) undergoing renovations so the hallways are not in the best of conditions and you will see construction folks around during the day (didn't hear any noise though). That being said, the rooms and bathrooms are quite spacious (got a double) for London quarters. The shower itself was a bit small but there is a tub with shower if needed and the toiletries provided are nice (sustainable re-fill bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion). Staff are friendly and the reception desk is staffed 24/7, which was great since we arrived after midnight and got the full welcome. We had breakfast twice, once the continental and once a la cart, price was fair and continental was filling. Sadly, we did not get to enjoy the restaurant and pub in the evenings as we were out every night but they were always full upon our return. The location is great as it is literally within the park and there is a bus stop right in front or the tube is less than a 10 min walk away.

It’s a very nice old hotel with great restaurant and bar. The location is very nice, near a beautiful park and many restaurants, however, going to and from main attractions takes 40 - 90 minutes depending on traffic.

We would definitely stay here again, when next in the area. Although we did not use the snack or mini bar, having the option to use them was a welcomed change, they were reasonably priced too

I booked the Windmill as an emergency last-minute place to stay late at night, as the original place I’d booked seemed very unsafe. The Windmill was really lovely - although I had a room on the ground floor near to the bar, it was silent as soon as the door closed. The room was super cute, comfy, clean and with everything you’d want/need - including coffee machine, minibar snacks & sky TV (with premium film channels too). The bathroom was really clean, with great water pressure from the shower - although the fan stayed on continuously which was odd. Great hotel - I’d definitely stay again and would easily recommend.

10/10. The staff were all outstanding and made us feel welcomed into a community ! The communication prior to our arrival was timely and very helpful . This was my family’s first trip to London and our stay was amazing . The beds were very comfortable and rooms are roomy . while thete is no elevator , easy to walk and they help you with luggage if needed. The food at the restaurant was great with good options and sensitive to allergies. The set up of the pub is very comfortable, with seating and tables to play board games. eat ,drink and be as social as one would like . On the main bus line , train only a 10 min walk , easy uber pick up , on a park and lots to do that are walkable in the community ! A hidden gem . Will be our go to spot when coming to London .

Lovely hotel, styling room with nice touches. The most comfy bed, fluffiest towels with lots of tempting treats in a fully stocked mini-bar and wicker basket, although a bit pricey! The bar downstairs was busy and bustling, we didn't eat or drink here this time, but will definitely stay here again.

Great location, comfortable beds but that's about it. Our room was very tired, not very clean and extremely dark. Mould in the bathroom, chipped furniture, dirty curtains. Very expensive for what it is. Location is excellent and it was quiet.

Charming and busy pub, seemingly popular. Close to Clapham high street and convenient for traveling by tube. A little underwhelmed however by the accommodation. Room could do with a proper dusting. In addition, because I didn’t book directly with them, they would charge me an exorbitant rate every half hour for a late check out. It would have been free otherwise. I can’t understand the justification of the rate. Breakfast was good with good cooked options.

I have stayed here numerous times over the last seven years, and sadly the state of property is really bad now. Paint and plaster falling off the walls, terrible thread bare carpet throughout. The rooms themselves are looking tired now. The last few times the milk has been off, the fridge was turned off really dirty. It’s a shame because I used to love coming to the windmill, but even the food has gone really downhill.

The location is great, easy walkiny distance to Clapham Common station, shops, bars, restaurants etc. Unfortunately our room was very tired, not as clean as we would have liked and not good enough for the cost. It was actually very dissapointing as other aspects of our stay were good, including the staff and food.

10/10. The staff were all outstanding and made us feel welcomed into a community ! The communication prior to our arrival was timely and very helpful . This was my family’s first trip to London and our stay was amazing . The beds were very comfortable and rooms are roomy . while thete is no elevator , easy to walk and they help you with luggage if needed. The food at the restaurant was great with good options and sensitive to allergies. The set up of the pub is very comfortable, with seating and tables to play board games. eat ,drink and be as social as one would like . On the main bus line , train only a 10 min walk , easy uber pick up , on a park and lots to do that are walkable in the community ! A hidden gem . Will be our go to spot when coming to London .

Amazing staff and great location. Lots of cute shops and cafes near by. Only downside is it’s a ten minute walk to the subway but other than that it’s a 10/10

Location
Set on Clapham Common with buses nearby and a 5–10 minute walk to the tube, plus cafes and shops close by. It is convenient for the area, though trips to central sights can take longer.

This is an older building currently (summer 2024) undergoing renovations so the hallways are not in the best of conditions and you will see construction folks around during the day (didn't hear any noise though). That being said, the rooms and bathrooms are quite spacious (got a double) for London quarters. The shower itself was a bit small but there is a tub with shower if needed and the toiletries provided are nice (sustainable re-fill bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion). Staff are friendly and the reception desk is staffed 24/7, which was great since we arrived after midnight and got the full welcome. We had breakfast twice, once the continental and once a la cart, price was fair and continental was filling. Sadly, we did not get to enjoy the restaurant and pub in the evenings as we were out every night but they were always full upon our return. The location is great as it is literally within the park and there is a bus stop right in front or the tube is less than a 10 min walk away.

Charming and busy pub, seemingly popular. Close to Clapham high street and convenient for traveling by tube. A little underwhelmed however by the accommodation. Room could do with a proper dusting. In addition, because I didn’t book directly with them, they would charge me an exorbitant rate every half hour for a late check out. It would have been free otherwise. I can’t understand the justification of the rate. Breakfast was good with good cooked options.

It’s a very nice old hotel with great restaurant and bar. The location is very nice, near a beautiful park and many restaurants, however, going to and from main attractions takes 40 - 90 minutes depending on traffic.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Windmill. The rooms were so cute and cozy. The bed was incredible. The night manager who checked us in was extremely friendly and helpful. The pub was also excellent. We had dinner there twice because it was so good. The breakfast was not good so I don’t recommend it but everything else was great. The area is very quiet by a park and is a short walk to the tube. Definitely would stay here again!

The location is great, easy walkiny distance to Clapham Common station, shops, bars, restaurants etc. Unfortunately our room was very tired, not as clean as we would have liked and not good enough for the cost. It was actually very dissapointing as other aspects of our stay were good, including the staff and food.

Lovely room, very comfortable bed, nice breakfast with high quality produce. It was delightful to have a selection of wine glasses, teaspoon rather than a wooden stick and fresh milk in the fridge. Really enjoyed my stay despite it being for business.
