Café · St Pauls
Perched right on the Thames at Broken Wharf, Locke Coffee Club is a light-filled spot where families can slow down over decent coffee and pastries while toddlers peer out at the river traffic through the big windows. Highchairs are on hand for the little ones, buggies roll in without fuss, and when the sun shows up there are outdoor tables to make the most of the waterside setting. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the relaxed, unhurried vibe makes it a genuinely pleasant stop for parents who just need a proper flat white and a moment to breathe.
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.
