OK so unfortunately my baby is now far too big to be held in my arms whilst sipping a Latte - he is 16 months old.


Can anyone please help in directing me to any cafes that have areas where they can let off some steam and keep out of the way of other paying customers.


I know The Florence and Victoria have play rooms which are great but i was just wondering if there are any others in London not just East D/Peckham.


Really appreciate any feedback, thanks.

There is (or was) one on Northcote Rd in Clapham with a Play area at the back - also sold single nappies & baby food just trying to remember the name of it.


CRUMPET is the name!!! I'm told the cafe next door is even nicer but less child friendly I think!

I like the Bread of Life too but it is not exactly a cafe in the way you might be thinking, but it does good basic food like omlettes, jackets etc and lots for kids and is really relaxed. There is a little play area and it is never busy. Kind of like a park cafe but in a better, more relaxed setting. I've never had the coffee but expect that it is more caff than cafe.


I think the Vic Inn is good but is a bit more for older kids as the playroom is quite far away from the bar / restaurant so one of the parents needs to hang out there with them. In the summer the Herne has a good playground area right in the centre of the garden.


Bit random but the Cafe Nero in Morleys in Brixton is good for having a coffee and watching the buses for little ones. Not sure it's really a destination though.


Also Gardens cafe has the back room which is good. Now that my girl is 2 I find that our times are pretty limited anywhere that involves sitting down.

The Gardens has turned the back room into a deli counter. Was in there last week and it's no longer child friendly IMO.

You could try the teahouse theatre in vauxhall (next to the city farm), 40 mins away on a 185!

www.teahousetheatre.co.uk

Went today and staff were v friendly. Big space, loads of tables, good area with rug on floor, and armchairs. Games in a chest. Very baby/toddler friendly: they even have a bumbo. High chairs, helpful staff came to open double doors, they didn't bat an eyelid at 4 weary but chatty mums and 5 kids aged between 3 and 3 months all losing the plot one by one.

Menu is: good sandwiches, poached eggs on toast, welsh rarebit kind of thing and baked beans on toast etc for kids. ?5 more or less per main adult meal, and more different types of cake than you could imagine.

Only prob, as name suggests, they don't do coffee...only tea but many different types and all served in teapots with tea cosies and in cute teacup china.

      Taxes

      I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
