Is it just me, or does the air smell fresher here? This, my friends, is the Coal House Cafe. Don’t let the name fool you – it’s a haven of delicious food and captivating history nestled right by the beautiful Woodberry Wetlands. The Coal House Cafe wasn’t always a place for coffee and cake. This Grade II listed building has a past as intriguing as its present. Originally built to serve the East Reservoir, it’s seen quite a transformation. Today, it’s run by the London Wildlife Trust and stands as a testament to urban renewal and conservation. What I love about this place is its commitment to sustainability. They source ingredients locally, supporting businesses like Baldwins Butchers and Liberty Coffee. They even sell honey from hives right here in the Wetlands! And if you forget your reusable cup, they’ll give you double stamps on your loyalty card for being environmentally conscious. So, take a seat, enjoy your coffee and maybe a slice of their homemade pistachio blueberry honey loaf. And as you soak in the views of the wetlands, remember you’re experiencing a piece of London’s history, reborn and thriving.
