Padella Borough Market
Modern bistro with a short list of housemade pasta dishes accompanied by wine & Italianate drinks.
Brunch · Bermondsey
LEON at Borough Market serves up the kind of feel-good fast food that works well for a family pit-stop — think natural burgers, wraps and salads with genuinely good vegan options tucked into the menu (the vegan burger comes particularly recommended). The staff are known for being warm and helpful, which always makes life easier when you're wrangling little ones, and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. Highchairs are available, though there's no dedicated children's menu or baby-changing facilities, so it's best suited to slightly older kids or as a quick, fuss-free lunch stop rather than a long family sit-down.

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.
