Monmouth Coffee House

One of the best places to buy and sample really good coffee, including organically produced brews. The tantalizing aroma drifts up to the wooden bench tables in the café at the back of the premises.
O’Hanlon’s

A character pub near Exmouth Market in Clerkenwell is a great find: a light and airy non-smoking area is coupled with O’Hanlon’s ales, brewed in the West Country, and a varied weekly menu, including Sunday lunches.
Patisserie Valerie

A classic Soho café with a wide range of delicious cakes and pastries: the fresh croissants make it a good place for breakfast. Its Frenchness extends to the smoky atmosphere, but there is a no-smoking area downstairs.
Paul

The best patisserie in Covent Garden has authentic French fruit tarts, croissants, breads and cakes, as well as filled baguettes and real French coffee.
Paxton’s Head

A popular watering hole for both locals and visitors, this old pub caters for all tastes, with cocktails and flavoured vodkas as well as real ales.
