Kaffeine is one of the big players in the central London coffee scene. It’s hugely active on social media, always busy and has a great spot on Great Titchfield Street – an area itself which is fast becoming a must-do street for all things gastronomic. They were one of the first cafes to contact me…
Covent Garden is, to many tourists, the centre of London. The square around which fellow tourists gather – pausing from a day’s shopping, watching the street performers or just passing through and soaking up the ambiance. Its many side streets are filled with both excellent little restaurants and cafes and over-priced tourist traps. Double Shot…
When I started blogging, I had an idea in my head of what it would be like – a lonely undertaking in a cutthroat world, firing off my reviews into the ether in the hope that someone out there might take notice and, one day, would go to a café based solely on my recommendation.…
The most recent addition to Crouch End’s nearly saturated café scene is Beam. Housed in the former Blockbuster Video store, this is probably the biggest café in the area – though that doesn’t mean it’s not heaving come lunch time. It’s a family run establishment and is just one of a number of new additions to…
About Bermondsey Street is not a street I’ve walked down before but I glad I did. When you’ve got London Bridge and Borough nearby, you might wonder why you’d take a wander down here. However, with new high-end offices being built around the area, there’s a lot of venues opening up for these office workers…
About Sometimes in London you need to go off the beaten track to find something amazing. Tucked down alley ways, under railways arches, in the middle of a park are some of the things that make London the great city it is. One of these such finds is Wilton’s Music Hall. Somewhere in between Shadwell…
About While Upper Street in Angel might be classed as ‘Restaurant Mile’, it does lack good independent cafes. Yes, there are a few, but you get the feeling that no matter how many cups of flat white you sell, it just wouldn’t be enough to pay for premium rents. So many of the area’s great…
About And we’re back to Crouch End. As you can probably tell, this is my local area. About two years ago the high street had a bit of a café boom with a number of new places opening in a very short period of time. Among these was My Kind of Coffee, which has its…
About I love a good pun, so Flat Planet gets points for not only having a pun on the famous flat whites of Down Under but also doubling down on the word play by serving flat bread pizzas. This café, set at the top of the recently revived Carnaby Street on the edges of Soho,…
About Lambs Conduit Street is like a London Shangri La – a mythical place that no one seems to know exactly where it is. Is it Holborn or Russell Square? Or maybe Bloomsbury? In fact, the local maps now just refer to the area as Lambs Conduit Street. What I do know is that it’s…
