Sketch
The most photographed café in London. The Gallery restaurant with David Shrigley's pink walls is genuinely extraordinary. Afternoon tea here is an event.
Order this: Afternoon tea in the Gallery
Peggy Porschen
Belgravia cake shop and café that has achieved Instagram landmark status for good reason. The seasonal flower display outside changes every few weeks.
Order this: Signature cake slice, rose latte
The Wolseley
Grand Viennese café on Piccadilly that feels like a different century. Breakfast here is one of London's great rituals.
Order this: Viennese breakfast, kedgeree
Attendant Fitzrovia
Café in a converted Victorian underground public toilet. The original urinals are now individual booth seating. Better coffee than the concept deserves.

Canal-side café in Haggerston with no WiFi, no music, seasonal food and the best outdoor seating in east London. Closed in winter.
Order this: Seasonal lunch, filter coffee
