This tea house run by an accomplished catering company sets standards high for London’s other park cafés. Fait Maison’s range of colourful, health-conscious salads, gourmet baguettes and wraps, and child-friendly dishes (which range from homemade fish goujons to cheese-and-tomato quiche) are a draw in themselves, but factor in this venue’s proximity to leafy Ravenscourt Park, and its extensive outdoor play area (safely fenced off from its surroundings, and regularly host to alfresco kids’ activities), and you’ll see why it’s usually packed with happy locals, especially families. Fait Maison’s other forte is afternoon tea - it would be rude not to pop in here after a bracing walk in the park for a quality cuppa and one of the company’s celebrated macarons, scones or cream-filled sandwich cakes - wouldn’t it?
