"Head to laid-back Balham cafe Milk for your post-doggy paddle coffee and banana bread. It's a 20-minute walk from the lido, there’s space out front for when it's warm, and all the food is a cut above your average brunch dishes. Stay for two courses so you can try their famous fish finger sando, and the miso and white choc caramel french toast." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
