Description:
This super-friendly queer café was probably serving up hot dishes when most of you were still in nappies. It’s been a mainstay of London’s gay scene for as long as anyone can remember and it remains so because it’s a good, no-nonsense kind of place. With a canteen-style atmosphere and basic vegetarian menu, it’s the place to meet up with friends, catch a bite before a night on the town, or even to indulge in one of their fab breakfasts.

Description:
Originally a small oyster bar, the restaurant grew in size and reputation through the 1950s and 1960s, as it embraced the adjoining properties and attracted the discerning fashionable diners of the day. The restaurant was subsequently owned by the Scott’s Group until 1993 when it declined into bankruptcy and disrepair. It was rescued and relaunched by Caprice Holdings in 1998.
