Wedged between Wandsworth and Clapham Common in south London, The Thai is a bit of an institution with curry-loving Claphamites. Located on Northcote Road, this colourful restaurant has a cosy and cosmopolitan atmosphere and is decorated with sunny lemon and ochre coloured walls, exotic blue and green-framed mirrors, wood carvings and glossy silver lamps. The food is attractive too – the authentic menu is filled with old favourites and many of the ingredients are flown in from Thailand each week. Only a short walk from Clapham Junction, this is a convenient meeting place for group dining.
