There are some places that you just don’t want to tell anyone about. The Buenos Aires Cafe was already a favourite weekend haunt of ours before Jack arrived. After his arrival it became one of those places that helped keep me sane during and after maternity leave. It is an easy (but oh so virtuous) walk through Greenwich Park from our house

The dearth of decent restaurants in South East London has improved in recent years with the arrival of The Rivington Grill in Greenwich. You might expect a Manhattan-styled restaurant (especially one in the same stable as Scott’s and The Ivy) serving high end British food in a place like Shoreditch, but in South East London it is worthy of celebration

It would be safe to say that South East London is not famed for an array of great restaurants. There are, however, a handful of places which have acquired a reputation for being actually quite good.

Among them is the Spread Eagle in Greenwich. Since its refurb a couple of years ago it has lost a little of the beautiful, creaky, old world charm and cosiness. The food is still French and delicious
