The 30 Best After work snack in London

“A really lovely pub. We like to eat inside and love the decor. Staff are super friendly and service excellent. (Server was Cello; last time we came it was Poppy- both lovely as was everyone else.) Four of us are vegetarian and chose very nice dishes (carrot soup; hummus dish; pimientos de Padrón; veggie wellington; goats cheese salad; fish and chips. We also love the soda bread.) Thank you for a very pleasant evening. (Photo from previous visit of delicious Camembert dip)”

“This has been my weekday morning stop for 18 months, great cappuccino, great staff in a warm and friendly environment.”

“Real pub, great landlord, lovely staff, great prices!”

“Every weekend we visit Mem’s and everytime they’re so welcoming and food amazing. Best spot for miles”

“I stayed here for three nights while attending Comic Con a couple of stops away on the tube. Reception staff were nothing but friendly and helpful any time I needed them. They were even happy to keep my bag in a cloakroom while I was at day 1 of the event and checking in quite late after it was over (about 9pm) wasn't an issue. The room was minimal frills, but had a nice spacious bed that was quite comfortable. The shower worked fine, as did the TV, and there's a hairdryer and clothes iron provided if you need it. A bonus point was the nice big window providing a decent view of the skyline nearby. Everything was clean and well kept and my room was cleaned every day while I was out so no complaints there. There is a bar in the lobby that's open from midday until 2am which was good for a nice pint to wind down after a day at the con. There is also breakfast included in the price which is good compared to some hotels that charge extra for it. It's fairly basic standard hotel breakfast stuff but it's certainly not bad for what it is. The bacon in particular was pretty good. Only real issue was that one of the two lifts wasn't working due to maintenance, so the one remaining lift could get quite packed with people, but this was at least warned ahead of time when making the booking. Overall very solid hotel for the price, especially as it's conveniently situated nearby to venues such as the O2 and Excel.”

“An excellent coffee shop, very hip and on trend. Good range of pastries too.”

“What an amazing selection of food, drinks and snacks from this place! 100% coming back here to this place. Friendly staff and good quality food!”

“Fabulous, ethical shop right in the heart of Leytonstone. The proprietors are so friendly and welcoming. As well as beers, food, a bar and a lovely garden, they have an extensive refill station. They also have a gallery area for showing the work of local artists!”

“I almost never write reviews, but Trio Cafe is so good! I always get the Turkish breakfast or fry up, my wife loves their omelette and jacket potato. Great value and flavours, food is ready fast. Neigbourhoodly vibe. Employees are kind and efficient.”

“This place is OFF THE CHAIN! Best coffee in town other than their Earls Court branch (duh). Only good vibes in every coffee bean. Wouldn't start my morning commute without a brew from the guys at Over Under. Slamming service, smiles all round. Fresh fresh fresh”

“This coffee shop is lovely, a friendly lady who kept me laughing served me a hot chocolate and a tuna crunch baguette with melted cheese. Tasted really nice.”

“Cosy & welcoming micro pub in Hanwell with a good selection of beers. Friendly owner. Secluded rear garden. Would definitely recommend.”

“Brilliant night! Love the refurbishment- looks clean, fresh and modern! Fantastic atmosphere as a result of the live music playing on Saturdays. 100% recommend visiting if you want good vibes, good beer and if you fancy a little dance.”

“Brilliant range of beers. Very nice room for a craft ale pub.”

“Vee old pub. Very local, separate room for seating, huge open log fire, dogs welcome. Bootiful strong cask ale. Landlord was kept on his feet. Honest locals house. NO music, NO gambling machines-bliss. Christmas eve, 2023...spot on”

“Best bubble tea in town. Love their dirty taro”

“Suspect the whiskeys came out of a ginger doing a helicopter, tasted good nonetheless”

“First time visiting after seeing the positive reviews, and I thought I’d give them a try. I was greeted by two lovely ladies who took my order. I had the Labbuffata breakfast and was blown away! It was so flavorful and beautifully presented. Thank you for the amazing experience!”

“A Proper Little Cafe - Great Find Was in Rickmansworth on a Saturday morning and looking for a proper brunch spot that wasn't a big chain. Stumbled upon Cafe Deli 122 and it was exactly what we were after. First off, it's a small place and was pretty bustling when we arrived, which is always a good sign. We managed to get the last free table. It's not a fancy spot by any means; it has that classic, unpretentious British cafe feel, which was perfect for a relaxed breakfast. The menu isn't huge, but it has all the essentials you'd want. I went for the poached eggs and my friend had scrambled eggs on a toasty bagel. You can tell they use good ingredients. My eggs were perfectly runny and served on some proper thick-cut toast. The coffee was decent too – a good, strong flat white that actually tasted of coffee, not just hot milk. Service was quick and friendly, no fuss. The lady behind the counter was managing the rush really well and still had a smile for everyone. The best part is the price. For the quality of the food, it's brilliant value. It's easy to see why it's popular with locals. If you're looking for a solid, no-nonsense breakfast or lunch that tastes great and doesn't cost a fortune, this is the place. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.”

“Lovely staff lovely food and coffee”

“Fantastic staff & a Great pint of Guinness met my buddy Vishal here it's his Local Great pub very welcoming”

“Haven't eaten here but the staff are fantastic, drinks are reasonably priced and the locals are lovely.”

“Recently visited the Duke's after last visiting it over 6 years ago. It now has an amazing and buzzing atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Will be returning to try out more of the menu and to sample more of the beers and mulled wine!”

“Can’t recommend this place enough! Momo was our server and he was absolutely fantastic and so kind. The food was also incredible. Definitely a must try!”

“A fantastic cafe with some amazing coffee and bakes. The cafe is quite small inside with not much seating. Outdoor seating is available which gets some nice sun. The coffee is excellent. Very well made. The bakes and treats are just as good. Very much recommended.”

“Can't beat Eddie's Cafe, it's simple honest good an excellent kind staff The breakfast is banging and alwasy served with a smile. We love this place”

“Great place to enjoy your time and your coffe, very good atmosphere and decoration, staff is very friendly. Very satisfied! Highly recomanded to everyone.”

“Amazing little cafe, excellent food and attention to detail. My wife and I came here for a late breakfast and the staff noticed that we were celebrating our 12 year wedding anniversary. They came over to congratulate us. Impeccable service. We'll be making another visit as soon as we can. Thank you”

“Hearty portions and great value! The food at Milk Bar is super satisfying. Grilled meats, fresh salads, and a delicious potato omelet that tastes homemade. This place is a great spot for a filling lunch and tasty pastry. Will definitely come back!”

“Sat inside and had teas and coffees while we chatted away to family members that had visited from Manchester - we were never made to feel like we should be 'rushing' through our drinks and vacating our table ASAP. It's a very friendly place and we'd certainly go back there again. (the teas and coffees were excellent by the way!)”
