Top 6 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Beckenham, England
Beckenham is a post town and district of London in the London Borough of Bromley, England. It borders Beckenham Place Park and Bellingham in the London Borough of Lewisham (to the north) and is centred 8.4 miles (13.5 km) south east of Charing Cross. Until the coming of the railway in 1857, Beckenham was a small village, with most of its land being rural and private parkland. A family of entrepreneurs began the building of villas which led to a rapid increase in population, between 1850 and 1900, from 2,000 to 26,000. Housing and population growth has continued at a lesser pace since 1900.

Fantastic service from the server who went out of his way to bring us drinks and food. We had some very nice and very big plates of ploughmans from their sister pub The Chancery. With a seat outside in the sun in their garden area we had a lovely time.

Gambado Beckenham is fantastic! There are 3 soft play areas for the different age groups and all 3 are well made, well looked after and just great entertainment for the little ones. The staff are lovely, facilities clean, plenty of space at the cafe and good food. Highly recommended for raining days, parties and getting little ones to burn some energy off!!
