British café in London

“I went to Yvonne Arnaud Theatre to see the show Murder At Midnight starring Max Bowden from EastEnders and I had a wonderful time, it was an incredible experience to see Max and the rest of the cast perform live as it has always been my dream to see Max perform as I have been a fan of his for many years now so it was a special experience for me. We had front row seats which made the experience even more special too. Yvonne Arnaud is a wonderful little venue with great seating for shows and the cafe is lovely too, with delicious food and drinks and beautiful views across the river. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Thank you Yvonne Arnaud for a wonderful show and for making my dreams come true with watching Max Bowden perform live, I send my gratitude to Max and the rest of the cast of Murder At Midnight for a fantastic show that I will remember forever!”

“Great service, food and atmosphere. A welcome retreat after a hospital visit.”

“I was genuinely delighted to learn that Putney library has launched a new snack bar. I had the pleasure of enjoying a hot chocolate made by a young gentleman, who skillfully prepared it to perfection—not too sweet—and even included a lovely design. This enhancement to the library's, services that brings me considerable happiness.”

“Ho comprato una casa in Italia : Inverigo (Como, Lombardia). Allora, Il Primo Caffe ed un piacere mangiare qui. E veramente un Caffe Italiano Autentico, buonissimo espresso, tutti quanti mangia bene ogni volta, senza dubio. Amazing super friendly and genuine Italian proprietor. The young Italian “Bossman” and myself talk in Italian and his passion and love for his venue is obvious to see. I bought a Summer home in Inverigo (a province of Comi about 20 miles North of Milan in 2005) and our Family try to go on vacation there every year. Highly recommend Primo Caffe without a doubt it is the BEST COFFEE and serves a beautiful selection of Authentic Italian food, in Orpington. Caveat : it can get SUPER BUSY (which is a good sign of an excellent venue). Ciao”

“Breakfast was lovely and fresh. I’m coeliac but the cafe manager was very understanding, she talked through options I could have. She was very helpful and we’ve already planned to come back next week. The other staff were very pleasant and welcoming also. 5 stars thank you Barnyard cafe Team.”

“Delicious Martinis Magic Mushrooms Pancake and a flat white which was delicious. Looking forward to when they open the Deli/Cafe properly. Took a couple of slices of Banana Bread home for my wife and myself,which was good. I’m not keen on the paper cups and plates etc,but the quality more than makes up for it.”

“I come here every week whilst my puppy has hydrotherapy next door, such a lovely cafe. Have had the full english, Buddha bowls (if I’m remembering the name correctly) and also the jacket potatoes. They also have paninis. Doggy friendly as well and the ladies that work here are always cheerful. The food is made fresh and is so good! There is something for everyone. The photo is my of my fav drink they do - chai latte!”

“Absolutely love this place. Food is so good and the staff are friendly, efficient and chatty. The cafe always feels clean and always has great atmosphere. Will continue to return and recommend! Best independently run cafe in the area.”

“Popped in as went for a walk nearby to break up a long drive. Lovely quaint place. We were a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children). We ordered the french breakfast and the pancakes. Weren't sure what to expect but everything was delicious! Beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. Homemade jam was a winner!! Chatted to the owner who has recently taken over. Lovely lady who is clearly passionate about good food and good service. Pinned in the map to visit if we are ever nearby again! Xx”

“Wow! What a beautiful, clean, bistro/ restaurant. I thought I was in Paris except its so much better! Highly recommend trying this place”

“We had lunch at the cafe during our visit to the Oxleas Woods. Cafe is a minutes walk from the car park- so it is easily accessible. Fairly priced menu. It seems to be very popular- and has loads of seating indoors and outdoors. Long waiting queue to order food- but it was delivered quickly at our table- the meal was simple yet delicious. We had ordered Mexican burger, and toasted ciabatta. Both served hot and fresh. Dogs are allowed within the outer premises of the cafe- but not indoors. The staff were kind and polite.”

“My visit to The Troubadour was a truly memorable experience in one of London’s most iconic venues. Steeped in history, the café‑bar exudes character with its vintage décor, intimate atmosphere, and a sense of artistic heritage that makes it feel both timeless and inspiring. The food was excellent. The menu offered a thoughtful mix of comforting classics and modern dishes, all prepared with care and presented beautifully. From hearty breakfasts to refined evening plates, everything tasted fresh and full of flavor. The coffee and cocktails were equally impressive, adding to the overall charm of the visit. The live music element elevated the evening. The Troubadour has long been known as a hub for creativity, and the performance I attended captured that spirit perfectly – intimate, soulful, and engaging. It felt less like a concert and more like being part of a shared artistic moment. Service was warm, attentive, and genuine. The staff contributed to the welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that guests felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the visit. What made the experience special was the combination of historic charm, quality food and drink, and vibrant cultural energy. Dining and listening at The Troubadour felt like stepping into a living piece of London’s artistic history. Overall, The Troubadour is a must‑visit in London – a place where tradition, creativity, and hospitality come together to create an unforgettable experience.”

“Relatively cheap and unpretentious cafe in Colindale. Don’t expect Michelin star quality but perfect for an English breakfast or a jacket potato. Note, currently being refurbished, but still accessible during the works.”

“Very tasty coffee and delicious snacks. Very relaxing to sit in the open window and watch the world go by. Lovely staff too. Thank you!”

“Amazing experience. The hot chocolate was perfect- and I am super pretentious about the creaminess of it. The service - perfection- timely, friendly and professional. Met witha friend- ending up staying more than 1h lunch. Strongly recommend”

“Love, love, love caffè mamma. My favourite is the pollo Milanese - followed by zabaglione, fresh, hot and frothy. Their limoncello spritz is also worth trying. Yum.”

“Lovely little cafe! The owners are very friendly and the whole place has a very nice feel to it. Definitely going there again!”

“Love coming to the Deli. The food selection is endless and excellent. Cannot fault the friendly and helpful staff. It’s a great venue for breakfast, lunch or just a coffee, just sit back and enjoy the cosy and relaxing atmosphere.”

“Great little gem close to the High Street. Had a great toasted sandwich and coffee here plus they have a 5* Food hygiene rating! Would definitely reccomend over the usual chain high street coffee shops!”

“Accidentally found this place, and it was a marvellous surprise! The service was great, the food was absolutely delicious. The place is small, but it feels like you are in Italy! We will definitely be coming back, it is our new favourite place!”

“Oxford Circus is a road junction connecting Oxford Street and Regent Street in the West End of London. It is also the entrance to Oxford Circus tube station.”

“When I say the best brunch place I’ve been to. The people especially Sanjay and Charlotte where so nice and made our experience more enjoyable. Would deffo recommend.”

“Great food. Best place to have family or friends get together”

“Wonderful place! All the food and coffee is great. I have had the scones, tea cakes, and cheese and onion sandwiches. Love the building and it’s near the oldest mulberry tree. When I visit friends in the area, I go every day.”

“Nice cafe with free parking in Next parking area. A bit busy but many tables to sit.”

“Love going to the garden centre and then stopping at this cafe after. The scones and tea are to die for. Friends all loved the vegetarian options on the menu too. Stunning location surrounded by greenery. Big car park and clean toilets available.”

“Great service and lovely atmosphere. They have a wide selection to choose from but I chose to get the soup of the day. It was a little pricey however was delicious!”

“Loved the food here, lovely selection of healthy vs regular, great prices and lovely friendly and humble hard working staff. Thank you.”

“I came to Richmond to visit Kew Gardens and booked an afternoon tea for four here. We had the most lovely and delicious experience. Cakes, quiches, scones, clotted cream, big tea selection, the works. The staff were so nice, helpful, and efficient. It was a beautiful Saturday in September and the place was not too busy. The quality and presentation was better than most afternoon tea spots in London (city center) and at least 1/3 the price… I will be back.”

“I enjoy going to amici a lot as the people there are very friendly that make you feel like home. The food is good and priced reasonably.”
