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.)

    • I hope it's ok to use this thread to ask for advice on a separate issue in relation to TJ Medical Practice. A friend of mine who is registered there has recently been diagnosed with a serious long-term condition. He has been struggling to find a good GP at the practice since the departure of Dr Love and I said I would try to find out which of the remaining GPs other patients have found most capable and sympathetic - particularly for the scenario of overseeing ongoing care for a long-term progressive illness. Is there any particular GP that people would recommend?  Very many thanks.
    • I,m not a fan of Gales; but a lot of food serving premises open on Xmas day , so not unusual, worked in catering for nearly 40 years and staff usually get extra pay… My niece who is in her last year of college & wants to go travelling next summer, is waitressing in a restaurant near where she lives on Xmas day & Boxing Day for £20 per hour to boost her travelling fund. Back in the day I worked New Year’s Day 2000, & had my pay bumped to £50 per hour, happy days (wasn’t forced I volunteered)
    • Hardly strange; arcane perhaps. It used to be a common practice in many towns for the swings, roundabouts etc in parks to be chained up by the council on Sundays, so that they didn’t provide a source of reckless pleasure on the sabbath. The outrage that a cake shop should open on Christmas Day reminded me of this. The policy had pretty much died out in England and Wales by the 70’s but is still in force in parts of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
    • I would be interested to learn if Gail's hike their prices on Christmas day. I don't go to Gail's (as I prefer Christophers on HM Lane) but if anyone does go and detects a bit of price gouging, please let us all know.
