London’s Best Child Friendly Fine Dining Restaurants

Note: There is an updated version of this post here .

After weeks of anticipation we are all about to go baby crazy! The third in line to the throne should be making an appearance any time now, and while we all wait for the traditional 41 gun salute, thoughts turned to how this most modern of royal couples will adapt to family life.  The Cambridges are determined to live life as normally as possible so we thought we’d do our bit to help them settle into life with a highchair by finding the most child-friendly restaurants in the capital – silver spoon optional!
