Welcome to Stephanie's
What was once a neglected car park is now a hub for friends & families to come together in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Stephanie took on the land in 2021 and self-built an enchanting environment for all to enjoy!
'Love Hope Peace
& Empathy'.
It was never my intention to build a cafe, my father became unwell during the covid period and not knowing if or when I would see him just drove me to distraction, the car-park was my distraction, and my first DIY project. The 'car park cafe' has created a true feeling of community, the 'Irish wives' that taught me to 'Tile & Grout', the aspiring Artist from Dulwich college who painted our incredible Mandala that is a symbol for 'love, Hope, Peace & Empathy', and countless people who offered their advice and time with building things I really had no idea about. Many of these people have become the most wonderful friends and create the magical space that it has grown to be.There is no ego in our cafe, only love & Gratitude to be able to share such wonderful moments with our growing community.

"Best cafe in south london. So relaxing and dog/kid friendly. Warm in winter and cool in summer. The owner has done a fantastic job turning a disused car park into an oasis."
