I gather that Selfridges has good baby changing facilities, not least a row of proper feeding chairs from what I gather.


I wondered if anyone knew of anywhere else, similarly well equipped. I know I can BF wherever I like in theory, however I think I'll feel slightly more self conscious in town (unlike in ED where there are loads of BF mothers around during the week!)


Particularly interested in places nr Green Park/Piccadilly. F&M perhaps?! National Gallery??

John Lewis has a parents room on the 4th floor with loads of changing mats and feeding rooms. Also Mamas and Papas on Regent street. Having said that, I've fed my baby wherever he's got hungry - on the train into town, in the kitchen dept of John Lewis (I asked the staff first, they were very nice), in a cafe while having lunch...I've also done it on the big benches in the sainsburys wing of the national gallery, outside where the loos are. I think they have fine changing facilities there too. Places these days are pretty well equipped - when I lived in Italy I usually had to change my daughter in her pram/on the floor!


Have fun :)

John Lewis on Oxford Street is good for this kind of thing. I took my son at about 3 months for lunch at Waterstones on Picadilly - restaurant itself quite posh, but there was a baby change bit lower on another floor which I remember being a decent sized room, poss with a chair though it's a long time ago now. Also mamas and papas on regent's street is of course v well equipped. Haven't been into F&M with my son so couldn't say on that one.
Mamas and Papas on regent Street is superb - there is a cafe upstairs with lovely sofas & tables (and high chairs) where you can have lunch or a drink and feed. Also very clean changing facilities and you can even buy baby food....private and discreet...they have a baby mat and some other toys too so very baby friendly as you can imagine.

National gallery has good changing rooms. Can't comment on bfeeding but I've bottle fed on the sofas by the "espresso bar" there as well.

Not a proper feeding room, but the coffee bar at top of waterstones on picadilly is always quiet, and has big comfy sofas (and good coffee and good but ridicuously expensive cake)

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway. 
    • Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
    • You are welcome to have mine for free. I was just about to post! Three panels - 6ft by 5ft - weathered/natural on one side and painted brown on the other.
