Papa’s Cafe
Café spot in Stockwell.
American · Brixton
The Blues Kitchen Brixton brings a slice of American soul-food and live blues to Acre Lane, with a lively atmosphere that older children and teens tend to enjoy. It's not kitted out with highchairs or a children's menu, so it suits families with independent eaters rather than very little ones — but the venue is step-free and easy to navigate with a buggy, which is handy for the area. A solid choice if you fancy proper American comfort food in a buzzy Brixton setting.

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.
