Café spot in Putney.
Café · Putney
Wharf Cafe is a cheerful, spotless neighbourhood café on Lower Richmond Road in Putney, serving up generous breakfasts, lunches and everything in between at prices that feel genuinely fair for London. The pancakes are a firm hit with younger visitors, and the warm, personal service — the owners make a real effort to get to know their regulars — gives the place a lovely family feel that's hard to fake. Highchairs are on hand, the café is easy to navigate with a buggy, there's outdoor space for when the weather plays along, and a children's menu means little ones are properly catered for, though there's no baby-changing facilities on site so worth bearing that in mind.

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.
