Book café in London

“Very helpful and polite.Very good selection of tobaccos”

“We like this cafe because they give us proper cup and saucer as well as proper cutleries for sandwiches. It is a great value for money. Staff are friendly, located next toJohn Lewis and Lakeland. Highly recommended. Don’t go to Prett as you will regret, go here instead!”

“Visited Dec2024. A cute little cafe at a transit hub, ideally located for quick food on the go. Frequented by locals and workers. All good everyday snacks and breakfasts. Very basic, very quick. Great coffee.”

“Love love loved the muffins! I got the Apple and cinnamon and the raspberry chocolate and both were amazing, so fresh and so yummy but the Apple and cinnamon one by far was my favourite, it was warm and not too overpowering with cinnamon and also the hot chocolate is the best I’ve had honestly!! The cream and marshmallows were nice too. The only thing is that while I was waiting in the line to decide my order, the waiter kept pressuring me to make an order after I repeatedly and kindly said I was still thinking, which I thought was a little much considering I was the only person in the line pretty much as I came just after it opened so I wasn’t sure why they were very eager for me to order. Other than that, the muffins and the hot chocolate were 10/10”

“Had a fantastic stay here for my first visit to London. The location is excellent, a short walk from attractions like the British Museum and most of the Underground lines. The room itself looked a little dated, but that's my only complaint. It otherwise perfectly suited the needs of me and my mom. Highly recommend staying here!”

“Nice place for quick Sri-Lankan food”

“Went to this café today for the first time, I had a latte coffee along with two poached eggs on toast and baked beans at a cost of £9.05. This café is very comfortable as it has very comfortable chairs and tables. All loose and not fix together like picnic tables. The food was very well prepared and tasted very fresh. Café owner and staff. Very pleasant and talkative. Enjoyed my first visit there and will be for sure returning again soon.”

“Amazing party for Elouise on 19/07/2025! Lucy (apologies if I got the name slightly wrong!) was the star of the day—an incredible host who went above and beyond. She was friendly, energetic, and so helpful throughout, making everything run smoothly. The room was clean and ready, the kids had a blast, and the whole experience was stress-free thanks to her. A real credit to your team! I’ll definitely be recommending and booking again.”

“Very friendly staff, good choice of items,will use again”

“We ended up at DoubleTree by Hilton Woking unexpectedly after our original booking at another hotel was cancelled. From the moment we arrived, the front desk team showed true professionalism and kindness. They understood our difficult situation and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Their warm attitude and excellent service completely turned around what had started as a very stressful experience. Thanks to their care, our stay became enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for international visitors, because the staff here truly know how to treat guests with respect and hospitality.”

“Delicious coffee and great service but more importantly super friendly barista with great personality and chat. Perfect little stop on Essex Road for commuters.”

“Fantastic experience as usual! The Odeon Surrey Quays is set by Surrey Quays shopping centre and really great local cinema with huge screen for most films. You’ll find it clean and almost empty with plenty of spaces which can make your experience a pleasant one. They have snacks and drinks available throughout the counter, and right outside you can also find other shops available if you fancy some extra food. The location is easy to reach through Canada Water underground station, also Surrey Quays overground station, and there is also great bus links outside that can take you all over the city. I’d definitely recommend this cinema to anyone as they claim it by the picture. They do it better! and they certainly do! Thanks Odeon Team”

“This is a clean place, always kept tidy and in check by the staff; always well-stocked, too. The team members are very polite, friendly, highly knowl3dgeable in what they do, and they make a great coffee, too. The downsides are that the place is rather small (seating 20 people at best) and the food is not that great -- this is standard for Costa, and it has nothing to do with this place itself. No parking spaces, yes toilets, yes accessible entrance. Always great for a cosy, albeit sometimes noisy, place to meet and grab a coffee.”

“Great atmosphere and the staff are very helpful and they remember their regulars especially Aly and Ivan”

“My daughters 4th birthday was hosted here today! Amazing place and thank you for helping me make my daughters 4th birthday memorable x”

“Very peaceful coffee shop which is a place of respite from the bustling industrial area surrounding it. Nice coffee, nice toasties and a relaxing vibe. There were a good amount of sockets so working remotely is good here.”

“Perfect hotel, located close to everything. The metro station is right next door and there are plenty of restaurants within a 5-minute walk. As for the rooms, they are nice and clean. Special thanks to Ali for his warm welcome and professionalism !”

“I’ve been to this branch of Starbucks a couple of times recently and it’s been great. My friend is disabled, so parking is very convenient as there are Blue Badge parking spaces directly outside. Access is easy too. The staff are all friendly and you don’t feel rushed, even when it’s near closing time. One outstanding member of staff we encountered was Elaine, the manager, who is incredibly friendly, warm and kind. She was extremely considerate and helpful towards my friend, who needed to access the toilet. Elaine made sure she could navigate her way to the toilet safely and that there were no obstructions in her way. On our way out, just as the shop was closing, Elaine cheerfully called out to say goodbye, which was a lovely touch. It’s warm, friendly and helpful staff members like Elaine who contribute to a positive experience when visiting a coffee shop. Thank you Elaine. You’re an asset to Starbucks. Update: When I first encountered Elaine, I mistakenly thought she was the cleaner as she was mopping the floor. On my next visit she told me that she was actually the manager and had found my post hugely amusing. This just shows what a wonderful sense of humour Elaine has! It also shows how the manager is prepared to do any task that is required.”

“Great little shop. Staff are lovely!”

“This is my favourite cafe in London. As a new mum it is everything I need. One thing I’ve always struggled with, I’d finding a place to put my baby down, when out and about. This place is ideal. It has everything a mum and a young child need. The owners are so sweet and inviting, it feels like family. This is what we need more of. We need less apps and internet shopping. We need places to go and socialise with our community. Also, it’s not just good for parents. My mum’s tennis group love it too. As the coffee is reasonably priced and good quality.”

“You must try the ice creams, its soooo good , and the staff are so friendly”

“I saw reviews and was sceptical as so low! Not sure if they have upped their game recently but signed up for 2x kids swim lessons. 36 per month each for 30 mins per week and unlimited access to swimming. Really good value and my kids love it, as both over 8 can go in on their own while i have a coffee. We did lessons in Acton - the staff and quality of teaching is miles better here. Its much less chaotic for showers, changing and fewer children per instructor. And it has a little cafe and easier parking - Acton doesn't.”

“VERY COSY...WARM ATMOSPHERE..LOVELY PEOPLE”

“I don’t like staying at Travelodge, I had no choice to stay in Chertsey. We were greeted my Sameen, she had a friendly smile. It was a check check in, still thinking can’t believe I’m in a travelodge, until I saw the room, the room was spacious and very clean. Actually the hotel was very clean, I could not find a fault with the Chertsey branch. Well done to the hotel staff and specially to Sameen I hope that is the correct name. She changed my mind about travelodge. Best of luck.”

“Was in Croydon for the day, googled for a work friendly cafe and found this gem. Great atmosphere but even better service and friendly staff, the jacket potato packed way more than I bargained for, for £5 for a chilli con-carne and cheese and £2.30 for an Americano. If you’re in the area and need to work make sure to get down here, it’s perfect.”

“We have now found our new cafe❤️ the owner is so polite and a people pleaser great food great quality old time cafe feel. Prices are amazing and cheap for what you get. Defo recommend”

“Good small open space, slightly secluded, complete with children's playground, basketball court and outdoor gym”
