About Common Ground

Common Ground is a relaxed neighbourhood coffee shop and eatery in Stroud Green near Finsbury Park. We serve simple, restaurant quality food, specialty coffee, fresh juice and fermented soda (water kefir) which we make in-house. The space is unique, vibrant and creative. We also have a welcoming back terrace full of plants, murals and curiosities – a tranquil green space as an antidote to city life.
