The Engine House Café, London Wildlife Trust

One of the London Wildlife Trust's cafés, this Tottenham spot belongs to a charity that has championed nature's recovery in London since 1981 — a rather lovely thought to linger over. The practicalities are well handled too, with step-free access from car park to toilet, outdoor seating, and the option to dine in or take away. It opens seven days a week, 9.30am until 4.30pm.
