A Teddington Café owner has taken over a former café located in Strawberry Hill, Twickenham.

Ben Phillips, owner of Teddington's Café Benedict, has transformed the former Antipodea café in Radnor Gardens into a new café called Parsnips in the Park.

The cafe's owner, Ben Phillips, also owns Cafe BBenedict, located in 22 High St, Teddington TW11 8EW (Credit: Tilly O'Brien)

Antipodea, which was owned by an Australian chain, first opened in the summer of 2021 and closed down in the spring of 2023 following repeated break-ins, vandalism and antisocial behaviour which left staff in fear.

The new café sells Jersey cream soft serve, clamshell toasties, smoothies, and much more.

It also dog-friendly and has a "great team of baristas smashing out perfect flat whites".
