Light on the Common re-opened in February 2014 after undergoing a refurbishment. The restaurant is now warmer and cosier with a more intimate feel.

Liked the bright , relaxed setting of the place, right near Wimbledon common. Food was correct without blowing my mind, service efficient. Would be ideal place to eat an afternoon cake . I will come bac

The Rib eye steak is a definite must try here as they are cooked to perfection and accompanied with the best peppercorn sauce I've yet to try! Delightful peach Bellini 's to try and awesome desserts !

Currently small amount of seating at the front, kept warm from the heaters. Lovely staff , delicious food.

Pedro Salvado

Fantastic rib eye steak with peppercorn sauce . Succulent, great piece of meat. Lovely atmosphere and great service all around.

Super tasty butternut squash vegetarian lasagna 😋

Cagil Kasapoglu

Food is really good but I'd mark it down for disappointing cleanliness. Outdoor tables were sticky of leftovers. But food and bellini delicious.

Elinesca von Figenschou

Friendly , but not a place to go for a latte & a hang out. £5 for fried eggs and bread which was about as unexciting as Christmas in summer - one slice bread , two small eggs , no garnish , no butter.

Josh Wright

Great Vegetarian sweet potato green curry .

Great food in the village . Same high standards as the main restaurant on the Ridgway but more bistro-ish atmosphere

Jacob Botha

Went for lunch , lovely atmosphere but I thought it a bit spendy. Dinner sounds more reasonable.

Bad experience, called to ask if I could have breakfast or if I was too late,the waitress said we are still taking orders for ten mins, rushed, parked, 11 mins later she said no you are too late.

Nice and huge part for a walk. Very muddy though so be equipped if it's rained recently. There's a Windmill Museum and a nice cafe inside for breaks - Bernat Ràfales
