Impress your children by taking them to the lo-fi neighbourhood pizza place with branches across the city. Food-wise, Yard Sale deals in double-fermented stone-baked pizzas (12-inch or 18-inch whoppers) with left-field toppings and goofily enjoyable names such as Holy Pepperoni. And there are Happy Endings ice cream sarnies to finish. Ideal.
When you're dining out with kids, it can be tempting to stick to the familiar: chain restaurants do give out free colouring in sheets, after all. But try somewhere new and you'll cultivate your child's blossoming tastebuds, introducing them to a world of exciting new flavours and textures. London is full of restaurants that offer serious food while welcoming all the family, so your kid doesn’t have to cramp your culinary style. From sushi joints, to pasta places, to restaurants spangled with Michelin stars, the London foodie scene is open to humans of all sizes. If you’ve ever been haunted by the nightmare of being stuck on the kids’ table at a wedding, have no fear – this list takes children’s food seriously. Strap your little one into a high chair, sink a cocktail and dig in (and then maybe hit up some of the best children's theatre in town).
