Café · Blackheath
Tucked right beside a playground in Kidbrooke, artfix café is a roomy, relaxed spot serving hot drinks, cakes, pastries, sandwiches and pies — the sort of honest café fare that keeps parents happy without any fuss. It's genuinely family-friendly in feel: highchairs are on hand, the space is buggy-accessible, and reviewers rave about the Playville soft play area next door — complete with a trampoline, slide, ball pit and a good range of toys — which means little ones can burn off energy while you actually finish a coffee. Vegan options are available, and there's a kids' menu too, making it a handy all-rounder for families in south-east London.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
