can anyone recommend a child friendly restaurant for Sunday 5th March - Aussie friends want to organise a getogether for mix of friends, different age kids, several families and preferably central London or easily accessible. We'd love to be in a park or have outside space for the kids to play and tasty food.


Blue Kangaroo no longer exists, Rainforest Cafe bad food, too dark/expensive/touristy so not sure where else to go. A cafe eg St James Park would be good but not sure if it's possible to reserve tables there or if they do more than sandwiches. Does anyone know?


Spacious pub with garden could also be good option.


All ideas very welcome as we're a bit stuck!!


Thanks a million for your help, Kristin

There is a nice restaurant in St James Pk I think - 'Inn the Park ' - pretty sure has a posher side and a more canteeny side. Otherwise South Bank because scope to run, playground, can run around inside RFH (which also has a range of food from posh skylon restaurant, sklyon grill, to sandwichy things downstairs). The only pubs I know that would fit the bill are local - The florence in herne hill, or maybe the Herne on Forest Hill Rd.

thanks so much, all great ideas .... my mind went a complete blank when she asked me to organise their day!! The pressure as they're high maintenance friends, top lifestyle and only here every few years!


Also need to think of somewhere for a group of adults on Sat night - good, original but not over priced (as the rest of us may not be able to afford the top notch!)


Thanks again, Kristin

Don't go for Japanese, Thai or other South East Asian cuisine... they'll just be shocked at the price and disappointed in the quality compared to what they get there. Sorry, not much of a help! Hereford Road has real British food, non-pub style, and is just off Westbourne Grove. Not hip but definitely decent.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
