Always a surprise

Beyond expectations
The best bits of London are the bits where you don't actually feel like you're in a city of 10 million people! Bonnington Café is exactly that - an unexpected treat.
The food is tasty, healthy and a bargain. The atmosphere is like no other place to eat and the surroundings are gorgeous. We love it.

The Bonnington Cafe used to be a squat. Apparently, the squat was bought with Lottery money to preserve the last example of a local way of life!
Nowadays there is a lovely vegetarian cafe downstairs. The chefs only do one day a week, maximum, so the day of the week you go has a big effect. (Thursdays and Fridays are good bets.) It's almost like going round someone's house.
Also, near the cafe are two lovely little gardens run on a similar hippy/squat/volunteer basis.
