Branch of very popular chain of cafes, situated right by Stockwell tube station. Good for grabbing something on the go, but you can also dine in. Selection of barista coffees and other drinks, sandwiches, salads and soups etc. Fresher and tastier than most ready made options as these ones are prepared on the premises.

This fast food takeaway very close to Stockwell station is nothing fancy, but is a bit of a local institution and open very late on weekends if you're peckish after a night on the town. It serves fish and chips, fried chicken, burgers etc. but for me the kebabs are the best thing on the menu. The staff are professional and friendly.

Typical Indian take away making very tasty dishes. They will deliver, but as it's only a two minute walk away, I recommend collecting to get your curry quicker!

Unpretentious, no frills restaurant serving authentic Peruvian food such as ceviche and Pisco sour cocktails.

There is an outdoor seating area, but it's facing a quite busy patch of Clapham Road, so not sure how relaxing that is!

Shopping
This is a bit of a walk (around 30 minutes), but you can also get the Northern Line to Battersea Power Station and it's a short walk from there (around 20 minutes door to door from the listing). Worth visiting if you love flowers as it's pretty much the most famous flower market in the UK. You have to go early though, as it closes at 10am!
