Atmosphere in Beckenham

“I've been bringing my kids here for about 10 years and always had a great experience. Sarah is an excellent stylist and could not be more thoughtful about making sure that they feel comfortable in the salon and are happy with their haircut. My eldest is delighted with their post GCSE cut and wild colour today - thanks Sarah!”

“I always ask for a specifc style for my son, but most barbers don’t deliver. Ibrahim nailed it and everyone there was so lovely.”

“Fantastic salon-me, my sister in law and mum all love it and have been coming for years! Paula is brilliant and gives great advice on styles too. Highly recommended.”

“Such a lovely bunch ... dad went in without appointment.. they offered him tea while he waited...brilliant cut at reasonable price...I had to leave dad there...but as dad is a little slow on his legs, they offered to take him across the road so he was safe. Thank you guys you're amazing.”

“Too the wife and daughter for her birthday, booked in advance on their website, which was easy, and got a confirmation same day. Saturday evening was very busy. The atmosphere was nice , the service was very good and the food was hot, fresh tastie and very filling , and they don't automatically add service charge to the bill”

“Summer is amazing! I've been to her about 3 times now and wouldn't go anywhere else! She always listens to exactly what I want and never disappoints! I like how she is a perfectionist and takes her time with everything she does - whilst still managing to not keep me waiting for hours, it is a super talent! Have already made my next appointment with her. Thank you Summer again! Not to forget the lovely relaxing feel of the salon. Perfect from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.”

“Great new place just opened. Italian bites & cocktails, cool decor. Pasta was home cooked & tasted great. Long Island ice tea was mixed the way it should be... About time we had a cocktail bar worth visiting.”

“Amazing service lady behind the counter is so lovely food is lovely quality, tasty and big portions! What more could you ask for!”

“Novi is the BEST espresso room / coffee shop in the ‘Nam without exception. It’s the warmth of the welcome as much as it is the delights within!”

“I’ve been a loyal Daisy Grey customer since 2023, and in that time it’s become far more than just a coffee stop for me — it’s been a constant companion through every stage of my academic and professional life. The team is consistently warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming; they remember faces, orders, and even the little details that make you feel like part of the community. During my undergraduate degree, the outdoor heaters kept me company through countless study sessions. As a teacher, I found myself back here on early mornings, planning lessons with a cup of something extra hot (which they never fail to get just right). And the outdoor plug sockets? They witnessed the highs and lows of my master’s degree — drafts, deadlines, and all. The coffee is always delicious, reliably smooth, and prepared with care. Their pastries are just as unforgettable: the croissants are always fresh, warm, and perfectly flaky, and the banana bread is genuinely the best in town. The fact that the staff remember my regular extra-hot order says everything about the personal touch that sets Daisy Grey apart. I regularly drive an extra ten minutes from work, even on my shortest breaks, just to get a Daisy Grey coffee — it’s genuinely that worth it. Daisy Grey isn’t just a café; it’s been a backdrop to my growth, a comforting constant, and the best local spot I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling “mine.” Highly recommended.”

“We live just up the road and thought it was a greasy spoon. How wrong we were. Poached is a postage stamp size gourmet breakfast restaurant. The menu is innovative. The service is warm and friendly. That totally know their coffee (fresh roasted beans on sale here too). A delightful place for breakfast (and probably lunch too. As a bonus they have a live train times board and do takeaways. 5 stars all the way.”

“I went for the third time today for a Brazilian bikini wax and I cannot recommend this place and Kirti enough. As someone with a low threshold for pain I can honestly say that this is the most pain-free wax I’ve ever had in my life. Seriously!! She is very thorough too and won’t let you leave till all hair is removed, even those annoyingly stubborn ones! Kirti is super friendly and wonderfully welcoming and accommodating and you’ll leave with a smile guaranteed :D”

“I’ve been here several times now since its recent opening. It’s a pretty looking place with a good selection of food both savoury and sweet. Staff are welcoming and you don’t feel pressured to leave. All in all a good local cafe to go to either with friends or alone”

“Been here many times and have always had a warm welcome from the owner/manager and the staff. Natasha is always so helpful and friendly. We normally have the set menu that is great value. We will be booking for Sunday Lunch next week.There are a lot of restaurants in Beckenham beginning with the letter P but none of them compare with the service and food at Papilios !”

“We came for a Sunday roast. The food was exceptional, huge portions and lots of options (including multiple veggie options). Decor is beautiful. Service was lovely, staff were very professional. The atmosphere was nice but died a little when the music went off around 8.30pm and it implied that it was time for everyone to leave. Also the 14.5% service charge seems steep for Beckenham.”

“I had had a busy day about in Bromley and arrived early from that to a reservation I'd made that day for early dinner (18:15). Prices were properly reasonable for such fine dining. The presentation of each course was spot on, I'd even say en place, buuuuut not my element at this time. The maître d' was professional and courteous. I felt a bit under-dressed but braved through and they brought no attention to this and treated me. At some spirit auguery advice, my royal self reluctantly avoided steak this evening, going instead from chef's suggestion menu, the seared scallops and then sea bass. The scallops were grilled, and tender rather than rubbery as I sometimes 'expect' of scallop. I'd had some grilled halloumi around lunch tiem, and joked that scallops would be right out to pair with halloumi. I think there is this. The sea bass were served seared with skin on, and a sweet tomato salsa, with a potato tower of some kind. Service were quiet and excellent. I did not once feel rushed and I NEEEEED to return for some côte de boeuf or rib-eye some day soon. This should be written. I'll be needing dress better suited. Until then, I recommend that you do visit Branded Bromley if you should. ~ Lord Amadea-El, 6 November 2025 35:35 gmt24”

“Took my son for his birthday on monday and had the best experience-from being greeted warmly at the door,to being seated and beyond. The food was fabulous. It was so good to experience good old fashioned hospitality- it was great and will definetely put this place back on my list. Thank you!”

“Come in here with family for Lunch and had Kaci and a gentleman serve us who was top notch this place from food to service has drastically improved best it has been in a very long time. Thank you to Kaci especially as her service was top tier and will make the best manager one day. Thank you for the chef as well as all the food has Improved drastically”

“My Stay at Beckenham hotel was very pleasant. Clean rooms, great welcome and good breakfast. I will be back soon.”

“This is a favourite in our family and always a place we recommend. We’ve been coming for years! The food is cooked with passion - always delicious, and the service is unbeatable! All staff are lovely and the owners have become like family to us. Every time we are there we look forward to the next! We’ll be back soon guys, please continue to bless Beckenham and beyond with your amazing food and services! A1 ❤️”

“i LOVE this nail bar. i’ve been quite a few times, but moved 200 miles away. i will still get my nails done by them every time i come back to london to see family as it’s perfect every single time. they are always spot on with my idea, no matter how difficult i am. the start of the acrylic and my cuticle is always seamless, which i don’t always get at other nail bars near my new house. prices are always so good as well. couldn’t recommend you all more!”

“Absolutely fantastic food at miso everytime. Always Fresh, and good sized portions. Staff always friendly. I also left my wallet there on a previous visit and the man drove to my house to return it! Can you ask for better service than that?! I would recommend miso time and time again, it's been my go-to for years you won't regret it. Thanks again guys!!”

“Wonderful staff and the food was delicious, it was quite busy but still felt accommodated and cared for. If you love Thai food you will love this place.”

“This is a no nonsense sports bar and the only one in Beckenham (the others are masquerading as sports bars - no sound on TVs and pushchairs everywhere). The bar staff are brilliant and work hard, plenty of big screens with different sport catered for. I’m delighted to be kept safe by management taking security seriously..”

“Best PEDICURE I have ever HAD! Worth every penny, lasted so long! Unfortunately I forgot the name of the technician! I would definitely come back”

“I’ve been at Taylah several times already and I love them! It’s clean, very speedy service and really perfect quality. Not even to mention that while getting pedicure you can enjoy massage. Can’t wait to come back for more!”

“GOOD SELECTION OF RED WINE AND ALES AND LOCAL BREWERIES AND BEERS PRICE ARE REASONABLE”

“Special mention to the staff, particularly manager David, who went above and beyond in making sure my bike was safe while my Mum and I watched the Downton Abbey film! So helpful and a pleasure to chat with.”

“Always an excellent meal. I had chicken dupiaza and my wife had a vegetable curry main dish. We shared a special rice and a paratha. Delicious meal and excellent staff. I highly recommend, ten out of ten.”

“Love coming here with my son after school. The coffee is good, there is not much noise, there's parking space and the staff are lovely”
