So tomorrow I am due to take Baby Belle to a concert at Wigmore Hall.

I'm then supposed to meet a friend nearby but am a little stumped as to where to go.

Wigmore Hall is a hop skip and a jump from Bond Street.

What I would really like is some outdoor space (not even a playground - a few trees and some grass would be enough) and also somewhere to have tea and cake that are child friendly nearby.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Cavendish Sqaure is a grassy (enclosed) area its round the back of the John Lewis Food Hall so if you're feleing thrifty you could pick up a cake there and eat it al fresco. Otherwise the area is awash with cafes - including a starbucks or a pret a manger just along from John Lewis
Walk up marylebone high street, lovely shops, GInger PIg butchers, GIraffe restaurant, pret and all usual sandwich places, PAtisserie VAlerie and then on the left is Moxon STreet ( where ginger pig is) and there are gardens there with swings, benches, climbing frames etc lovely spot for lunch with a nice international mix of mums and carers and toddlers. Also boots andcwaitrose to satisfy shopping urges.

    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
