A play area with toys and books caters to younger kids. Food and suppliers are sourced from the local community where possible. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating makes The Hub a great place to enjoy a coffee or lunch, come rain or shine. The Pavilion Café
Time Out has included it on their recent list of London's best park cafés and says "The café is still probably London's best place to enjoy a perfectly brewed coffee alfresco... the fry-ups are well known in the neighborhood and beyond, and the cakes splendid". The Pavilion Cafe is open 8.30am-5pm Monday-Friday and 8.30am-6pm on weekends during the summer. In the winter it's open 8.30am-4pm daily. The cafe is inside the park by Crown Gate West, by the boating lake. Regency Boat Hire
