A really, really lovely, sweet and smart concept for little children. My two children enjoyed their afternoon session. The cafe section and food for the parents to catch-up is brilliant too. My sister and I loved the lemon cake, it tastes delicious and reasonably priced. Just a suggestion... it would be nice to add what Tots in London is about, although it’s on the website, it would be good for the story to be told when you enter. Perhaps; also a lick of paint and bright colours to add to the walls to brighten it up. Other than that, it’s such a great place and I hope to be back with my children. Thank you again Tots in London, my girls had an awesome time.

We were lucky to spend time on our own due to no other bookings at the required time slot, the pastries are wonderful! I would love to visit it again just to have that amazing brownie with berries and banana bread 🤤 ✨

We hired this space for our daughter’s third birthday and wow, what an amazing day! The children had the best time. The space is clean, vibrant, and very welcoming. All of the parents commented on how lovely the facilities were, and it really gave everyone peace of mind knowing the children were playing in a safe, well-maintained environment where they could use their imagination and just have fun. The staff were absolutely fantastic, friendly, understanding, and so helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly. They really work with you to make the day special for your little one. Honestly, the photos don’t do the space justice, it’s even better in person. 10/10, I would highly recommend!

We had my daughter’s 2nd birthday at Tots in London, and couldn’t recommend it more highly. We had about 35 guests, around 14 of which were toddlers and it felt very spacious. The children all had an amazing time, and everyone said what a lovely venue it was. There is also plenty of space for adults to relax in at the back. There are lots of windows, which allows lots of natural light and sunshine in the the space. Sofia who served drinks made delicious coffees and was so calm and friendly. Thank you for a lovely birthday party.

Lovely play cafe for toddlers and a break for mommies, especially if dads are happy to play with them! They have 5 pretend play booths for kids: supermarket, pizzeria, doctor, library, hair salon, a dress up area with princess dresses and a mat with car roads. Big hits for kids. Toys are clean and well managed. A comfortable seating area for parents, coffee and cakes available for purchase. Clean toilets. Overall great break, we paid £9.5 for 2 adults and a child (£7.5 if just 1 adult 1 child) and found it reasonable for 1hr 15min slot. Need to book in advance.
