Great memories of caining a burger up there at 4am in the past. It's taken a bit of damage this evening though -

    That's always been my late night pit stop when coming home from doing call outs.  Hope they get it back up and running quickly.

    Not the first time it’s been damaged. Hope everyone is ok and they get back up and running soon.

    Think we might've dined there together a couple of times, well oiled mate? Used to go up there with Reecey early hours after a late one in the Horse

    Whoever that is on the floor doesn't look like they're doing too well

    Only seen it on me phone so can't see the details. I thought it only showed the car and the hut

    It looks like there's someone lying on the floor in front of the car, being "assisted" by someone.

    We used to stop off after the Venue back in the day for an Animal Burger, which was basically a full English breakfast with burger in a bun with pineapple ring as well, happy days!!

    The fact that no one else seems to care I thought that was someone looking at the car rather than a person

    I hope the lady and anyone else hurt are ok, great memories of the place growing up. 
    I took my wife there for an alfresco meal on our 19th wedding anniversary!
    When we arrived my wife thought I was mucking about and laughing told the lady serving what was going on, she called a fella sitting at the table and they moved a table away from the road and we ate our meal alone in the middle of the heath. She also gave us the meal for free, but I tipped her £20 as didn’t want to be considered a tightarse.

    Most people know it as a landmark rather than using it, I thought everyone knew the Tea Hut

    Sadly I have read the woman working there has been rushed to kings in a ‘very bad way’.

    Fingers crossed for all involved.

    Can't see how a motor can be going that fast around that area at that time of the day, to cause so much damage. Even though it is on a junction

    If you approach Greenwich Park from the Heath side you'll recognise it immediately.

    Well, you would have until last night.

    You would’ve seen it AFKA. Unless you drive past blindfolded!

    i don’t agree with the fund raising pages being set up to raise money for the owners. This may sound bad but they can hardly be skint and surely the insurance will cover it.

    I’d have thought they would have insurance but perhaps given the nature of the location and the fact it was destroyed in a similar way a number of years ago, perhaps there are limitations to what it covers. 

    When the little cafe in Charlton Park was seriously vandalised early last year, it turned out that the insurance didn’t cover the building due to the perceived flimsy wooden construction of it - hence the crowdfunding there to help get them up and running again. 

    Whatever the circumstances, I wish them well and those injured a full recovery.
