The Nursery is a cute little theatre venue tucked into the arches under the tracks in Southwark. The downside is that it's small and chilly and smells like mildew, but the people managing the place are the sweetest and most welcoming hosts ever. I was really impressed by the friendly atmosphere, and they draw a mixed crowd of families and couples of all ages. We visited on a Sunday for the jazz breakfast (basic breakfast options that are easy to set out in such a venue--croissants and granola parfaits and coffees) and stayed for a couple of hours to listen to the live band and do our Sunday morning reading via their wifi.
The Nursery has a theatre festival coming up, too--it will be interesting to see how the place is configured for that!
Overall, a relaxing spot you'll feel comfortable lounging in for hours. read more
