Old toilet block about to get a new lease of life as a café
A fantastic, new café, "Canbury Secret" opening in Canbury Gardens, Kingston, on the Easter weekend
The aim of the Canbury Secret project is to regenerate a derelict toilet block, which has been out of use since 1984, decaying and attracting antisocial activity, and convert it into a seasonal café serving high quality refreshments and fine foods, especially Italian style artisan coffee and ice cream, Gelato.
The building, located in Canbury Gardens, Kingston, and its surroundings will be greatly uplifted by way of regeneration, investment, and security. There will be a tangible social and community benefit, with the café providing enjoyment to families out on a riverside walk, dog walkers, cyclists, boat race spectators and people attending concerts at the bandstand. It will provide a calm, car-free, green place to meet up or stop for a coffee, away from the busy centre of Kingston. Pausa Italiana – a break Italian style.
