<p>Great idea, I'm old enough and local enough to remember the old house with the bees in the glass hive and all that before it burnt down, the park was a very municipal place. It'a a shame the park doesn't make more of itself, and this will help a lot. Somewhere to get an ice-cream on a boiling hot day would be particularly great.</p>

<p>Like many examples of public engineering I think the Victorians got this one right!

<p>Very good luck! The Starbucks in Palmers Green is always pretty busy when I have been there, so there is obviously a market. I note the blurb above mentions 'locally-sourced, fresh, healthy' produce. My main concern would be that whatever you sell tastes good, as well as being affordable. A decent sized latte from Starbucks is £2.50 and is not the best coffee in the world, by any means. Beat that for taste and price and you will be successful.</p>
