A few of us mums were often asking one another for advice on where to go with our little ones for a meal, somewhere with an indoor/outdoor play area.

Upon doing some research, one of our mummy friends posted her finds, which made the rest of us mummy's realise what a lack of family friendly pubs there are in our immediate area (Charlton/Blackheath).

We mummy's would like to suggest to the new owners of The Royal Standard - who we congratulate and wish all the best to - that they think about creating a children's play area, either indoors or outdoors.

With the Blackheath Library and the Invicta Children's Centre both being just around the corner from The Royal Standard, there are very often groups of mummy's in the area, who would love somewhere to go for a coffee or lunch after their activities.
