Absolutely amazing staff, great chilled place. Excellent variety of shisha flavours 😍which shockingly lasted a long time, longer than any other shisha place I've been to in the U.K. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT!!

Regulary come here with the lads after work. We went looking around for a decent Shisha place for awhile and came across Roots. It's a fair journey for us to come here, however it is definitely worth the journey. Staff are extremely helpful and are always eager to make your stay as pleasant as it possibly can be. Music is good and the atmosphere is excellent as well. We will continue to come here as we have found the perfect Shisha place for us. Would 100% reccomend this place to anyone that may be curious about coming here.

Shisha is brilliant as always! The owners have changed but are truely the best. Best shisha I have had. Every time the shisha is on point! And the staff are friendly and great customer service. Highly recommend. Great atmosphere and always a great place to chill by 1, 2 or a group. Has many areas of entertainment from music videos to footy matches to board & games. Lively on the weekend (Fridays & Saturdays) but truely a brilliant lounge to relax and enjoy the night. And food is pretty decent if I may so myself. Come to Roots for a great sesh, date nights or even a group event. Each flavour is awesome, smooth & refreshing. Truely the best shisha around, this place is vibe! Keep up the grand work Roots Team!

Edit 1: i have to been to this place few times after I gave this place 1 star. I have been taken care of very well and am now changing the review from 1 star to 5 stars. Please remain the same. Thank you. Worst experience with staff today. The lounge was empty with only our table and none else. When ordered fries, the gentleman asked me to order now whatever else I want to have as he might get busy with other customers which might come anytime or get busy with "making his own shisha". Anyhow, fries came after around 20 minutes. Then we asked for coal to be changed, which usually is changed within seconds to minutes at any shisha bar, but after chasing him in the kitchen thrice to change the same, he changed coals after around 20 minutes. When voiced that we are not liking the service, he said he was busy making his own shisha, why should we have fun only he should have too. 🤦🏼‍♂️

My friend and I did the silver ring workshop and it was so much fun. Denna is a brilliant tutor and made the class super fun and easy to follow. The coffee and pastries were yummy too. Great place that I’ll be going back to to see what other creative classes are on offer!

House of Denna is the heart of the RA community for many people, including me. There's a wide range of events and workshops to choose from. Something for everyone. The food and coffee are great. Especially the cookies and the seasonal lattes. Love that it’s doggy friendly too.

Went in for a workshop and they went above and beyond to make us comfortable and they were so friendly. They seemed to really be enjoying themselves as well which made the whole experience that much better. It was an intimate group of people doing the workshop which made it feel special. Me and my partner made our wedding rings and we are thinking of going back with family and friends so they can have a great experience also. Highly recommended.

I recently visited House of Denna and had an amazing experience that I just have to share! The cozy ambiance and delicious menu caught my attention. From the moment I walked in, the environment was warm and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The service went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, from recommending the perfect coffee and pastry to checking in on how I was enjoying my meal. The friendly attitude and genuine care for customers made a huge difference in my experience. If you're looking for a local spot with great food, a lovely atmosphere, and fantastic service, especially if you are lucky to be looked after by Keira, then House of Denna is the place to be! I can’t wait to come back.

If you are, at Bankside or the Royal Arsenal, don't miss Chealsons Coffee! Friendly and wonderful staff and service. When I first tasted their hot chocolate, it was absolutely mind-blowing. Made me keep coming back. I'm not sure what the team do to the drink(s) but it feels like they pour their love and soul into making of their product. Would definitely recommend it.

Busy Brewing Coffee

P: 07904 452255

Rating: 5 (25) Price Level:

A welcome addition to the Herbert Road area that has been crying out for a decent cup of coffee and is conveniently positioned outside the Lord Herbert pub so you can't miss it. The lovely Jake makes a fabulous latte and is very knowledgeable about his products, so great coffee and very reasonably priced too for the quality. The pastries are divine (especially the choc croissant) but be sure to get there early, as they sell out quickly. A real asset to SE18 🙂

Try this coffee, it’s so good! First found Busy Brewing whilst in Charlton Park at the Skate festival and enjoyed an Oat Milk Latte, so really loved finding them outside the Herbert the other day and finding out they’re going to be there permanently. Now I know where to go for great coffee all the time!

Jake brews really good coffee, I would rate as one of the best in London let alone shooters hill. His baked goods are next level good as well. Get there early to snag a cinnamon bun, they are the best in london, period.

3 of us visited this morning, we pre-booked but the place was very busy when we arrived. Seated quickly and orders taken. Food arrived quickly, looked and tasted fantastic. Their food caters for all, and they don't have any qualms changing or amending menu items. They have a tiny kitchen but the quality of food and drink they're producing here is very impressive. Would highly recommend paying them a visit, they're a great local business. We'll definitely be back!

This cafe is one of the few vegan friendly spots in the region, which is good. However, the options are quite limited, every time I go there I end up having the same thing, there is not much else for me to try. That being said, the vegan breakfast is delicious. I especially love their hash browns. The service is also nice and kind. The place is very dog friendly, which I also appreciate.

What a great find next to our home. We arrived at 1.30pm. The atmosphere was so lovely with blues jazz Amy Winehouse, Sting and Duffy playing. Really welcoming team. The food was delicious and portions really big. We had the smashed avocado feta and poached egg and the full pantry English. Absolutely fresh and full of Flavour. Will be the go to for any visitor staying with us. I had the iced decaf latte with caramel and they also do smoothies and fresh cakes on display.

His suggestion for my guests to preorder for day was genius! And in doing this all the food was out on time! The restaurant is beautiful and the food delicious.

I truly believe it was worth the visit. After the disappointment of not passing my exam, I went there and was pleasantly surprised by how friendly the staff were. They really helped lift my spirits and made me forget my sadness, even if just for a little while. I had a wonderful time with my friends, and it reminded me of the importance of companionship during tough times.

First visit for my son and I- recommended for breakfast by my mechanic who works nearby while my son's car was being serviced. Assumed it would be a local greasy spoon but was pleasantly surprised by the interior, with reclaimed wooden tables and wall mirrors. A large ceramic cupcake on the windowsill caught my eye and brought back memories as my daughter, now a mum of three, used to have a smaller version as a child in her bedroom! Excellent full English. Nice people. Recommended.
