The Café at Clifton Nurseries

Brunch under glass among the plants, at the garden centre London has had since 1851.

Also in Coffee.

Clifton Nurseries is invisible from the street: a pair of gates in Maida Vale, and behind them a walled acre of glasshouses, trees in pots and gravel paths, on ground that has been a nursery since 1851. Brunch and lunch are served in one of the glasshouses and on the terrace outside it - dishes made from local ingredients, artisan morning bakes, cakes, salads and savouries, with coffee and a long list of teas. The pleasure of it is the room rather than the menu: glass, plants, and everyone else walking past with a tree in their arms. The shop beside it was designed by Jeremy Dixon in 1986, a decade before he rebuilt the Royal Opera House.
