The Coronet Café was one of more than 11 tea gardens that sprung up in North Chingford in the 1890s to cater for trippers.

From 1917 a group of Catholics would meet at the café on Sunday mornings to celebrate mass for five shillings a week.

In 1923, the Chingford Golf Club held its first meeting at the café.

The property was later converted into private dwellings.
