Is giraffe too child friendly ? Cafe rouges tend to be pretty child friendly too. Or Browns ? Here's a list from london eating

I am trying to remember the name of a restaurant we went to with my neice when she was only 5 months which was nice but happy to have children in the evening. Wasn't central central london but on south side of southwark bridge... will try and find it.

If you're not looking for fancy, any Gourmet Burger Kitchens are child friendly -- also Pizza Express is good with children. No "facilities" as such but definitely the sorts of places you feel perfectly comfortable taking a baby.

this one - they also have a branch in the city but think that would be less child friendly and full of suits.

the manager in pizza express nr oxford circus (top end of regent st, near the bbc) told me when i was breastfeeding dd1 (so nearly 6 yrs ago..but obv have long memory!) that one of her other customers had complained about me 
. if i was her, i would have chucked him out. i of course brazened it out & their staff may have had more -ahem- training since then...

agree re giraffe and gourmet burger kitchen (which does truly wonderful burgers and shakes).

TGI Friday's, Wagamama are good with kids too. Personally, i'd just go to any restaurant i'd have gone to anyway, 11 months is still easy to take along and doesn't need special entertainment. Take turns holding her in your lap if there aren't any highchairs, then into the buggy when she's asleep. Have a good time.
