Balham and Clapham Common is usually 'destination centrale' for bars.

Gigalum opened a year or so ago and is Clapham South's third bar. It's much more livelier than the Glow Lounge and Firefly and there are a lot of seriously beautiful wide eye'd and chatty people in here sipping cocktails and desperately trying to impress/pull.

It's open late and it's good to have this sort of Bar on your doorstep when you fancy a big night out. The main reason for coming is the huge terrace but be warned it can get very, very, very busy.

This pub is nicely located on clapham common south side and is great to drop into after a lazy day in the sun on the common or a drink to warm you up on a cold evening - The blazing fire outside is too hard to resist when it's cold.

They play a really strange mix of music. One minute it will be hard core rock, the next, pop music.

It's a quiet place and is more suited for drinks and a catch up with a few mates rather than a party.

You wouldn't feel uncomfortable popping in here on your own and reading the sunday papers with a pint of beer waiting for one of your mates to arrive.

The staff are nice, and all pretty hot too.

The food is ok but a bit pricey. The antipasto isn't great. If you're gonna eat, go for the duck as you get loads, or eat before you arrive.

They do a quiz on a Monday night and have lots of board games to play with too.

Take a jacket and sit outside. It's nice to be by the fire and perfect for people watching.
