Lunch in an urban orchard

What nicer place to spend a lunch break than at an urban orchard and community garden? Just opposite the London Fire Brigade on Union Street, SE1, you can wander round paths made of tyre chippings admiring plants, young trees, apple presses and jars and jars of seeds. You can play table tennis on a table made from a converted skip (unfortunately firmly occupied when I visited) and there's a poetry corner.


I know that not everyone's lucky enough to work on Union Street but there's so much free stuff on offer all over London, why not encourage your employees to take a lunch break and make the most of the local area? Evidence shows they'll have a more productive afternoon as a result...
