Eating
Good local places for snacks, babyccinos, lunches and lattes...
Taste of Chamberlayne, Chamberlayne Road NW10 3ND - Small and calm upstairs, with adequate space for buggies and a couple of highchairs. Downstairs a dedicated kids room with loads of toys and comfy sofas. Good coffee, fresh juices, breakfast, toasted sandwiches and salads, ice-cream.
Gracelands Café, 118 College Road, NW10 5HD - At quieter times Gracelands is all a parent could want from a cafe - a play area, good coffee, delicious lunches, child-size fare (kids breakfast is a winner in our household), friendly service, outdoors and indoors seating. Gracelands yard, with many children's activities is out the back. However, if you are fond of your eardrums it might be better to avoid at busy times and if it's sunny sit outside next door at L'Angolos, a lovely Italian delicatessen and café.
Roundwood Park Café, Roundwood Park, Harlesden Road, NW10 I can't comment on the food as I've never had more than a muffin (although that was very nice and homemade-tasting), but it's all reasonably priced, the coffee is decent, there's plenty of inside and outside seating, and it is completely child-friendly, with a superb outdoors play area - swings, slide, sandpit, plenty of toys, green leaves and blue sky above.
Queens Park Café, Queens Park Sandwiches, Paninis, Jacket Potatoes kind of menu, little of which I've tried. The coffee is fine, and there is heaps of lovely outdoor seating right in the middle of the park, and highchairs a-plenty. Ice-cream outside in summer is always tempting.
