As expected
Proving that the Nightingale Triangle (the much-worshipped area situated between Wandsworth Common, Balham and Clapham South) is absolutely, totally obsessed with putting a roof over the heads of wealthy women on maternity leave, is Munchkin Lane. Unlike some of the area’s offerings though, this wood-floored café is lovely, run by a young family who seem to genuinely love children, rather than seeing them as a way to make money or compete with their neighbours. You can sup delicious smoothies and coffees outside, or choose to stuff your face full of paninis in the comfortable, but basic, ground floor indoors. Everything is tailored towards kiddies – the menu describes itself as nutritious and child-friendly, and downstairs is a small person’s paradise. There are loads of toys and things to dribble upon, and most days of the week see organised activities which’ll cost you a few quid to join in on, whether it’s rhymes, sing-a-longs, puppetry or general mucking about.
