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.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
