Crumpet

Set up for parents of small children, by people who know what’s required, this colourful café is the answer to the collective prayers of Nappy Valley. Crumpet supplies right-on food that little ones want to eat – the likes of salmon & mash, mini finger sandwiches & cottage pie. There’s space in the toilets to change nappies, & even somewhere to park the buggies. Happily, grown-ups also have plenty to choose: posh sandwiches, good salads, breads, & the inevitable crumpets, as well as drinks of properly made teas, juices & smoothies. Should you want to let your hair down, you can order wine by the glass too. A second branch at 15 Bellevue Road, SW17 7EG (020 8767 0577) caters for the stressed-out parents of Wandsworth Common.
