Hi all,


Have a conundrum that I think the family room might be able to help me with.


A good friend of mine is coming to stay from the US. She's a big foodie and especially likes 'off the grid' stuff like pop up food trucks over there. She has requested high tea this time - probably in central London (last time we did Brockley Market, Melange Chocolat and Ganapati). Does anyone have a recommendation of somewhere really nice, a bit unusual perhaps, in town, that won't mind a newly baby led weaning 6m old (who it turns out loves food so will definitely want to join in on some level with healthy options).


I'm a bit stumped! Was thinking of Fortnums but believe it has carpet?!


Ideas much appreciated!!

We took our little girl to Sketch for afternoon tea when she was less than a year old. The decor and atmosphere are lovely and a bit fairy tale like which kept her entertained. We had a lovely high tea with a glass of champagne.

I was nervous beforehand about the reception we and snotty child would get but the staff couldn't have been nicer and seemed happy to have a small person in the tea room. Pleasantly surprised- we had a lovely afternoon.

The Peckham Refreshment Rooms are doing a pop-up restaurant at the St Stephen's Club on Queen Anne Gate SW1 today at 3pm - 6pm and they are doing afternoon tea. The pop-up is on for another week or so and they do lunch and dinner. I think the afternoon tea is today only. I am taking my daughter to it.

    • 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  🎩✏️
    • 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.
