Floods of natural light make this stylish addition to South London Gallery a peaceful spot for a healthy breakfast or a catch up with friends over lunch. Decor is minimal – as you might expect at a contemporary art gallery – but the large communal table and views of the lush walled garden beyond help make the space feel serene rather than stark.
In keeping with Peckham’s trendy café scene, the menu features carefully sourced, seasonal food that’s also wonderfully Instagram-friendly. Breakfast options include the likes of heritage mixed tomatoes with lemon ricotta on toasted sourdough and a gluten-free, vegan coconut and berry smoothie bowl, while lunch offerings include dishes such as smoked mackerel panzanella with heritage tomatoes and crispy crackers.
