The exterior of Honest Burgers in Brixton

©Will Jones/Lonely Planet


You can carry on east to Brixton for the original branch, or stop off on this side-street outpost for terrific burgers, the best of a few burger bars in this part of Clapham. Specials add some spice and zest to an otherwise very dependable, but short, menu. It's a hip, friendly and welcoming branch and the weekend brunch is fantastic; kids menu too.

Monday to Thursday deal: burger and chips plus a voucher for a ticket to the Clapham Picture House for £16.
