As I came to this cafe, the expectations were high, since it was in a beautiful location. The outdoor area was great, with traditional surroundings in which I walked my dog around. The cafe had a big outdoor area, with pleasing views of the park. The service at the cafe was decent, selling (a bit overpriced) chocolate with beautifully designed packaging. The drinks at the cafe were alright, pretty much what you would usually expect at a cafe. Next time I will get the delicious looking brownies in the display 😋
Lovely house to wander around with a variety of activities programmed. We attended a concert given by on the grand piano by Stephen Hose. It was enthralling and seemed very intimate in the upper room where we were gathered around the piano. A full range of their activities can be found on their website. It was also very cosy on a cold windy day.
We had our team day here in Lauderdale. The place was ok clean, toilets are clean. We spend a day here, the food that they prepare for us was good. The coffee is ok as well. But garden I wasn’t able to explore more that’s why I gave 4 star only.
This is a pleasant place located at the edge of Waterlow Park and I highly recommend whenever you come round to visit both. The tiny cafe area, although it doesn't have a large variety of items, receives you with friendly and professional staff, Sam being one of them. I've noticed exposed there two paintings created by Victor Carlin, an exquisite artist. The view is awesome and soothing and the house hosts exhibitions, music events or art classes as well. Many thanks to Jo and Peter for helping me with very useful information.
Lovely little cafe, does get crowded at certain times but didn't have to wait too long for our order. Tasty toasties & bagels
Great cafe for coffee cake and more. Beautiful garden Usually something to see, currently watercolour paintings
As a regular visitor, I'm consistently impressed by the diverse activities and beautiful surroundings at Lauderdale House and Waterlow Park. It's a true gem for all to enjoy!
Lauderdale House is a fantastic cultural and social hub in Highgate, London. From exhibitions to adult classes, children's activities to special events, Lauderdale House is a great place to spend time with family and friends. The building itself is stunning, with warm spaces to explore and great views of the surrounding park. The exhibitions are always interesting and varied, with something for everyone. The adult classes provide a great opportunity to learn a new skill or discover something new. The children's activities are fun and engaging, and there's always something new to learn or do. Special events are always exciting, with great music, food and entertainment. Overall, Lauderdale House is a great place to visit and explore. Highly recommended!
A sunny day offers a huge advantage. The park is beautiful & relaxing
