This is a magnificent place. A classic cafes favourite. Warm, worn, ancient and modern. Very friendly and slightly scary. An East End institution that's fed gangsters and civilians, poor and posh.
Top nosh. Big fat chips. Flavourful bacon. Piping beans. A strange but compelling egg.
The design is gorgeous, dense with history and fat. Adrian Maddox can tell you much more about it than I can.
