Paxton Centre

Recently had our daughters birthday party here. We prepared party decorations and balloons and when we arrived Alison had already decorated the party section! 11 friends were invited and they all made dog pots. Everyone was engaged, there was no noise and Alison handled it perfectly. I highly recommend this place for parties, coffee, bite to eat or to check out/buy some art!!!

Top notch coffee and cake, always a great selection of art on show and a diverse range of creative classes and events. It's at the heart of the creative community and involved in projects to keep improving the cultural life of the Crystal Palace area. As an artist it's a true local gem in my book.

Excellent cafe. Nice sandwiches, art on sale, workshops, and hot desking space.

Best Ciabattas south of the River. Would recommend the grilled ham, cheese with relish! Local artwork and good vibes

Lovely place to work or just drop in for a drink before the walk up hill to the triangle. The halloumi and pepper ciabatta is enough to feed two people, packed full of cheese, a substantial side salad and crisps on the side, love it!

Great cafe with hotdesking available.
The food is really great value, the ciabattas are hearty and served with crisps, salad and coleslaw.
The scrambled eggs and smoked salmon is well portioned and only £7 - which is unheard of in London!
Staff always polite and friendly too ☺️

Amazing sandwich and great service. We had 3 sandwiches. The haloumi, the tuna and the falafel… the first 2 were great the last was the best sandwich I’ve had in ages. Possibly into my top 5 of all time. I think it was the mango chutney. Genius. All served with a good salad and some crisps. 5/5
The lady serving was top notch (very refreshing in the post lockdown slightly cannot be arsed world).
The cafe was chilled despite being on a busy road with the resulting traffic noise. Great art and great music somehow cut it out…
Will definitely be going back here.

The friendliest of places. Love finding this and congrats to Beth for creating and sustaining a community driven art cafe. Will be booking onto some classes soon!
