Walk out of our door and left through the estate and up the road to get into Victoria Park. Stroll through past the lake and grab yourself coffee and breakfast at Pavillion. All food is vegetarian, many dishes with Sri Lankan influence. Bring a metal cup from our cupboard to avoid unnecessary use of plastic and paper cups.
