I am planning to get together with a number of family and friends for lunch and am in need of recommendations of family friendly restaurants either locally or in central London. My 2.5yr old will be the only chld in our group and has a tendancy for causing chaos in resturants at the best of times, so anywhere that is child friendly or even better has a play area would be perfect!

Victoria Inn Bellenden Road (Peckham) is good with children.

They have a playroom like in the Florence but it's inside the restaurant.


Also, sometimes, we take with us our DVD car player and my son watch his favourite DVD when he starts to be boring (so cheeky/naughty) to be at the restaurant wich allow us a peaceful end of lunch.

We went to Roca in Dulwich Village today with our 18mth old and loved it, was really baby friendly without shouting it from the rooftops - our daughter was charmed by (and charming back!) all the waiting staff and had a really relaxing lunch, hoping to return soon and think they might have space to accommodate larger groups.

    • I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety. 
    • I see a gap in the market and a stall in North Cross Road...
    • The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week
