The Rookery Café

With parasol-covered tables looking west across Streatham Common, this dog-friendly café serves specialty coffee and all-day brunch seven days a week. It belongs to the Roots & Berries family of London cafés, and the setting does much of the charm: green space on the doorstep, wheelchair-accessible entry and seating, takeaway and delivery on offer, and Inkspot Brewery just nearby for anyone turning an afternoon on the common into something longer.
