While it is correct that we have Gymboree for children aged 1-5 at the rear of building - we really wanted the Cafe to be able stand up on its own 2 feet so to speak. With this in mind we have thought very carefully and have tried our best to create a community space that while being attractive to little people also very much caters to mums, dads, joggers, commuters, dog walkers, serious coffee drinkers and the footballers in the park



How does the Gymboree work is it pay as you go? membership?

I went to Cafe G yesterday afternoon and it was a great start. Good coffee and cakes & lovely staff.


Really hope it does well, it is much better than I invisiged it would be from the description of a cafe within the Gymboree and it's rather worryingly convenient for my morning bus stop!

Hey - I'm a bit confused about how this works.


I'm looking for a cafe where I can take my toddler and his friend this Sunday. Is the cafe toddler friendly, considering as it's attached to Gymboree? does it have a toy space for them (a la Dish and Spoon). I don't want to let them run off wild but it would be nice to catch up with his friend's mum a bit....!


I don't even know whether it's open on Sundays.


Normally, I'd just go to the Dish and Spoon but someone told me that it's not open at the moment so I'm very lost.

Gymboree is next door. It appears that it will be used for classes etc, not casual play. You can't see it from the cafe part either. It's not set up like Dish and Spoon with a toy space etc. Plenty of room for buggies, but there isn't a play area in the cafe part.

Yes and no... there are some time slots allocated for casual use, but you need to be a member. And membership is expensive... about the price of an actual gym!

If I try that one, the response from the wife will inevitably be "so you're more important than the baby, then?"

I like the pub itself but find the playroom a bit "cold" both in temperature and atmosphere.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
