	WINDMILL on the Common	LONDON SW4 9DE	Windmill Drive Clapham Common Southside
	There was a time when this common was described as a wasteland, with almost impassable roads; when open countryside stretched down to the City of London and when a windmill ground corn nearby. From 1655 an alehouse has stood here too, its landlord was also a miller. A century later it became known as the Windmill Inn.	The pub is clearly identifiable in J.F. Herring's painting 'Return from the Derby', which now hangs in the Tate Gallery, a print of which can be seen in one of the Windmill's bars. Young's, who have owned the pub for over 150 years, rebuilt it at the end of the 19th century. The cluster if buildings that make up the pub vary in age and style. The quaint saloon contrasting with the enormous domed ceilinged dining room. This is a big brassy London pub, hugely popular, but large enough to cope. The conservatory dining area allows children and is non-smoking. A recently refurbished hotel wing offers 39 modern rooms and its own restaurant.
