There’s this little Italian sandwich shop I used to go to occasionally for lunch. Fresh ingredients and all the rest of it. Can’t fault them on that. But my goodness, did they make every customer feel like they should be in a rush: “come on now, who’s next” “hey, hey, hey, next please next please.”
This shop was in East London but frankly it could have been on any high street in London. By contrast then, let me introduce you to the most chilled out little lunchtime place I’ve found yet. It might even be the best lunchtime stop in London.
The Curved Angel Cafe is hidden down a side road off Clerkenwell Green, not far from Farringdon tube. This place just hums: doorstop-sized ciabatta sandwiches, delicious toasties, loads of fresh juices and, really importantly, really friendly staff. Add in a warm, chilled out atmosphere and cheap but really enjoyable food and you have, as I say, a great place to stop for a bite.
