Hi! Anyone have any toddler friendly spaces for adults to be able to catch up and chat while kid is able to roam around? Thank you!

What age toddler, and what part of central London?
Realistically, it's probably going to have to be somewhere aimed at babies & toddlers.
The transport museum has a play area with seating nearby but you'd need to keep your eyes on what's going on. Tickets are expensive but give 1 year of repeat visits.
The Young V&A is good if you can get out to east London.
Tate Modern has a few child friendly spaces with seating nearby.
There's a small playpark by Drury Lane which is the only playground near SoHo / Covent Garden area. Wrap up warm and bring coffee.
Battersea Childrens zoo is another option - there's a cafe and it's enclosed so you can let toddlers wander a bit further away from you - expensive tickets though.
Science Museum is the best museum on exhibition road for toddlers - The Garden toddler area in tje basement is quietest first thing in the morning but it gets busy at half term.
Postal museum soft play is good in north Central London. You only pay for the toddler and it's quiet in the week - weekends get booked up in advance.
Vauxhall City Farm is nice on a warm day, and there's a playpark nearby and the Teahouse theatre cafe for lunch / brunch before or afterwards.

Coram’s fields. Close to the postal museum. Perfect combo.

Also the Garden Museum in Lambeth do a toddler session on Tuesday mornings in term time and then you can go to the Archbishops Palace playpark afterwards.
At the base of the London Eye there's another playpark and then you can walk along the Southbank (and climb all the steps around the Haywood Gallery).
Enclosed playparks are the best option if you want to have a toddler playing by themselves whilst you have an adult catch-up.
Just dress warmly and bring / buy a coffee.
