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.

    • Take your own meter readings and properly document the condition of the property when you leave. The LL won’t have a case to claim against your deposit without a sign in inventory. Not having an EPC is largely irrelevant- if you report him he might get a fine but you are unlikely to get compensation. 
    • Thank you both. Inexperience Landlord trying to save  a few pennies - hence no agent involved. The issue is the fact that it is my understanding that without an EPC that is current then they should not have rented the property - far  more to the point and taken rent from me. They commissioned an EPC 4 weeks & I am still waiting for or a copy!!! No gas in property. Well I guess it will be a case of instructing solicitors which I have tried to avoid doing but as they are not responding at all, I have no choice. If I am correct about EPC then it will cost them alot more than refunding me my rent.            
    • Went there a couple of weeks ago and had their set lunch menu - very good value and generous portions. Sea bream was delicious .
    • Some years ago, one of our dogs ate something dropped by rubbish bins outside a local café and haemorrhaged. Rushed to emergency vet in Streatham, who suggested that someone, worried about rats getting into rubbish bins may have put down poison. Our dog died the next day. Consequently, any dog we had afterwards wore a muzzle to stop them picking up food.
