A quiet spot in Soho?

I have to meet some people in Soho of an early evening. I have to record the conversation for work purposes, so anywhere with loud music or busy is out of the question. Any ideas people? A bar or café would be best. Was thinking of the Phoenix Theatre Bar or something. Is that noisy?

Interesting things to do of an evening...not involving alcohol?

Posted by faith about 1 year ago

I have a friend that I work with who doesn’t drink (or smoke), so when we meet up, it seems slightly unfair of me to expect him to come to bars and pubs with me and watch me get pissed and smoke too many fags. What stuff is there to do in the evenings that doesn’t involve bars? There isn’t anyt...

Kings Cross - where oh where should an ex-soho-ite go?

Yes, my work has decided to move from Soho to be a primary coloniser of Kings Cross – probably Regent’s Quarter – in the coming months. To ease the pain of moving, who can recommend some top things and places to go in and around this “up and coming creative mecca”? Bars, restaurants, sa...

Is there decent ice cream cafe in London?

Posted by whenthiswasfields over 2 years ago

The best thing about Germany in summer is the myriad of local ice-cream cafes. Often run by Italian-German couples, these independent places sell a wide menu of carefully crafted, yet grossly proportioned sundaes at reasonable prices. In London, I only know of dingy franchised cafes selling Unilever subsidiary brand...

Where's a good place to lounge around on a Sunday?

A friend of mine was looking for a nice cafe, open on a Sunday, where she could laze around in comfy chairs and kick back while reading a book and drinking green tea. Not too sure how important the green tea is, but can anyone recommend some nice cafes that have comfy chairs and aren’t a huge american chain? S...

No more Benji's?

Posted by andy005 about 1 year ago

What’s to become of all the Benji shops? The ones I’ve been in are too small to turn into coffee shops, and it would be odd to try another sandwich shop given its success rate. I hope the administrators will sell the 46 branches separately and inject a new stream of originality into the high street...

What is your favourite London cafe?

We’ve had pubs and greasy spoons, how about cafes? Anything from glorified wine bar to quaint tea-room.

Where can I get a fresh brew of Kopi Luwak (Civet coffee)?

Posted by louis about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 3 responses

Is there a cafe in London that serves Kopi Luwak? It’s the most expensive coffee in the world and I would like to try it in a cafe rather than buying a whole pack online which turns out as £11 per cup to make. For those who don’t know, it’s the coffee cherries that have been eaten by civets and pas...

I am meeting someone tomorrow for a work-related thing. She’s coming in from Oxford so can anyone suggest a pleasant cafe where one can do work-related things for a couple of hours at least and is not over noisy, somewhere near Paddington. Ish. ? On a Sunday.

Know any good lunch places in Highbury and Islington?

I have just started a new job in islington, just down from H&I tube, and after two weeks, things are beginning to get desperate. I know there are many, many things to do in the area of an evening, but now i also have lunch times to deal with. Islington Council has a strict “no drinking” policy, s...

Wanted: Victoria area, low-key eatery

I’m looking for somewhere to take a friend whose grandmother’s just died – so somewhere that’s not going to tut and throw us out if we don’t spend lots of money but won’t worry if there are floods of tears and handkerchiefs – alcohol would be good. It’s not an area ...

EAT shops

Posted by unknown about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 87 responses

Hi y’all! Now correct me if I’m wrong but the EAT shops are there (mainly) to serve soup to keep starving Londoners (and tourists!) alive and working hard to make this city great. Now I was walking back to my office after a long workout at the gym and fancied the Goulash they were serving at 12.30R...

Where's the best cafe/coffee shop in Borough?

I’m meeting my friend Kate for a coffee and exciting FCL chat next week. We’ve got as far as Borough as a meeting point but neither of us know it very well (for shame). Where’s good at 10am on a Wednesday morning?
