Good child-friendly place in central London (recommended)

Found this great place yesterday just off Regent St, near Habitat:

It has an amazing children's area with great toys, blackboard, rocking horse, loads of crawling around space, and best of all (ED parents you'll like this) - tripp trapp highchairs! Plus sofas for the grown-ups, easy-going staff, buffet style food - wasn't amazing food but pretty reasonable - and if you're just looking for somewhere to change a nappy, give a meal to a child who's been stuck in a buggy all afternoon, and have a drink yourself, I heartily recommend this place.

Edited to say I probably should have posted this somewhere else as not related to ED, except for maybe the Tripp Trapp part, but I don't know how to move it.

that sounds great, thanks for posting. always a nightmare finding somewhere decent to change a nappy other than department stores

Ohh thanks! I'm always on the look out for places to eat with baby and buggy in the West End (not that we go there much). Another place is the cafe in Mamas and Papas on Regent Street,good for crawlers!

ooh i didn't know there were places in town you can give them a crawl around - mine went a bit stir crazy in the tate modern cafe yesterday (generally a favourite - but not somewhere they can really crawl around without really annoying punters and staff) - so will def try that and also m&P next time I'm up there.

Places i would recommend are Nando's in Covent Garden. Perhaps for toddlers and up. I did not notice changing facilities but probably because I was not looking for them. It was very relaxed and spacious with a reasonably priced children's menu too. Although the eating area is downstairs they have lift that you can go in with the pram. I would imgine they do have baby changing.

I'd also recommend going to the Royal Festival Hall if anyone is ever round that way. I think this is such a great place. There is definately baby changing facilities there. Plus it is on the 176 bus route if you just fancy an outing.

Sorry to jump onto the thread PollyD :))
