LEON More London Place
Fresh, healthy food near the South Bank with highchairs, outdoor space and famously kind staff.
Vegan · Bermondsey
Café Piazza sits inside the handsome Victorian arches of Hays Galleria, right on the Thames, and has a relaxed, unfussy atmosphere that makes it easy to pitch up with little ones in tow — highchairs and a children's menu are both on hand, and the buggy-friendly layout means you're not doing an obstacle course to find a seat. There's outdoor space too, which is a real bonus on a decent London day, letting kids stretch their legs while you enjoy the surroundings. There's no soft play or baby-changing on site, so worth bearing that in mind if you're out with very little ones, but as a casual, central spot for a family meal near the South Bank, it ticks a lot of boxes — and vegan diners are catered for as well.

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.
