The Jam Tree - Clapham

There are two Jam Trees in London: this, in Clapham's Old Town, and another on the King's Road. The outside area at this two-floor venue proves popular in the summer but it's flexible enough to draw the crowds throughout the year, with a cheery crowd getting stuck into signature cocktails, seven draught beers and a range of wines from across the globe.

The food menu boasts a slant toward modern-British dishes but options such as pork noodle soup, sweetcorn and chilli fritters in a lemongrass and shallot purée, and pulled pork burgers with sweet pickle coleslaw also feature. Breakfasts and brunches do brisk business, too.
