| Hi, could you please recommend a restaurant in London where it's casual, with outdoor seating (weather permitting) where kids can get up and run around for a bit? I am trying to meet up with a friend and she said her kids can hardly sit through a dinner. Ideally near a subway station and easy to get to and not a long ride from city center. Thank you so much! |

I don't have a specific site but I would try to do lunch at a Pret a Manger with outdoor seating (this is London's version of Panera) OR I would review indoor museum cafeterias to see which would work.
Possibly try Kensington Palace area? Holyrood Palace in Scotland had open air informal seating in the sandwich bar area. |

| Maybe a picnic or takeout in a park with a fence would be better. |

| We liked the Orangery near Kensington Palace in Hyde Park. Closest tube stop is Queensway or Bayswater. It's near the Princess Diana playground. |

| Is Inn the Park in St James still open? Seems like that might work well. |

| Your kids should not be running around. Take them to a park first. Teach them to behave and bring toys, coloring, books or tablet. |

Pubs are your best bet. Here are two.

This. Go where kids are expected to be running around -- a park. Don't subject other people in a restaurant to your kids "running around." |
