A walk through quiet streets and parks --Hilly Fields and Ladywell Park -- to Catford. We discover the Stage Door Cafe nestled on the alley-lane behind the Broadway Theatre and the Town Hall
and Civic Suite for the Borough of Lewisham. Sir Steve Bullock serves as Mayor of the Borough. We're proud of him for supporting the Living Wage Campaign and making the entire Borough a Living Wage employer, and he keeps the pothole repair crews busy. We attend the Mayor's annual Valentine's Day Lavender Fund Fundraiser dinner. This year we even took the rellies along!
Back to Catford ...I love the giant cat mascot slinking over the entrance to the shopping arcade -- source of great discussion and controversy.
Back to the Stage Door
Cafe...classy enough for white collar workers and open early enough for blue
collar workers, or should I say reflector-glo workers. A comfy place for early
rising pensioners, too. 
Pleasant decor: highlighting a set of framed theatre-themed super-size posters including the Chicago Theater by Wrigley Tower, Moulin Rouge dancers, and two Broadway New York scenes. Nice feel to the place and the friendly, animated wait staff, actually seem pleased for our custom.
Upscale calligraphied menu boards, comic font all caps --
quite posh.Posted signs, "Customers are advised that during busy periods you may be required to share your table." Probably gets an overflow lunch crowd.
As for our brekky...we're happy with our 2x2 eggs and brown toast and enjoy our hot mug of builders tea --strong enough for the spoon to stay standing! Not sure how I forgot a food photo -- must have just enjoyed it!
This place gets a "We'll be back."
Another delightful Breakfast in Britain
