Secret garden on Lordship Lane

Recommended Posts

So I just had lunch at Platform 1. A gooey, yummy, hearty-but-not-stodgy cheese toastie, a freshly squeezed carrot and ginger juice, some fresh mango and a jasmine green tea. But the best bit is, I had it all in their sun trap of a secret terrace garden filled with greenery. Okay, so the sun wasn't *quite* out, but it was lovely and warm, and we got occasional glimpses of sunbeams through the breaking cloud; add the reggae playing in the background and it felt *almost* like I was in a cafe on a Mediterranean plaza...


The menu was a limited but comprehensive selection of things like soup, open sandwiches, a salmon and vegetable dish, and sweets like pancakes with chocolate syrup. Priced individually (I know they mostly go in for prix fixe set menus in the evenings) and the owner tells me buggies are welcome, so it's a great place to grab a bite to eat and a coffee (or wine!) and meet up with mummy friends!


Make it your next stop while the temperatures are good! (and before April showers kick in.)

Yes I remember that.


Don't remember the garden being anything special though, maybe they have added some plants.

    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.  
    • ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
