Verso is no longer!  It's being turned into Perfect Blend.

At first glance this would appear to indicate a coffee shop but allegedly there is one in Streatham which is a coffee / sandwich shop during the day and then bar / restaurant in the evening.  Gets good write-ups except for a few niggles with slow service when busy.  Should be an interesting addition to Clapham Park Road.

As I live nearby I will check it out when it opens and post a review...

Why the 'allegedly in Streatham' bit. Sounds like noses being turned up at the mention of the 'S' word. Streatham is a nice up and coming part of Lambeth and we should welcome this sort of within-the-borough thing. It also adds to Streatham's cred that there's a branch opening in Clapham! I'm sure it will be a nice Cafe, though i think businesses in the mid section of Clapham Park road will do better if they market themselves more intensively to people in the Abbeville-Northborne-Park Hill triangle. This coffee shop could save people going all the way to the High Street and its quiet location is most likely a plus for families and people wanting to avoid the high street's hustle and bustle or trekking all the way down Abbeville Road.

Totally agreed - inappropriate use of "allegedly".  I was, badly, making the point that it's not just a coffee shop but a fully functioning bar / restuarant, too - like the one in Streatham.  Nothing against Streatham - I've never been to be honest.

Yes, the catchment area for Clapham Park Road is quite large.  They are many apartment blocks on the bottom stretch of the road now, with one new one just completed and two more in development and that along with Abbeville "village" *should* mean they get plenty of custom.

However, Verso was never that busy even though their pizzas/pasta were some of the best in Clapham.

Yes Perfect Blend is rated as the classiest cafe/dining offering in Streatham by Time Out, so maybe it is something to watch out for. Given that Time Out's covering of Streatham was generally rather grim i guess its wait and see.

Perfect Blend has had good and occasionally rave reviews across the board and is seen as the 'saving grace' of Streatham (strange), their service is however slow. Their all round cafe and restaurant menu is said to be excellent, so worth a try when the Clapham branch opens!

The Perect Blend is Streatham,  or St Reatham for you idiots, is fantastic, whether it be for lunch in the day or dinner and few beers in the evening. The new bar is reckoned to be better still by the gay owner Bradley Ridge. Cant wait.

It's looking very swish!  They have a lot of the fixtures and fittings in now - looks like it's going to be *quite* nice.  Can't wait to see Bradley Ridge's big opening. Ooooooh missus, etc, etc.
