You will be amazed by the variety of hot and cold drinks available, delighted by the freshness and tastiness of the food, and warmly welcomed by the charming and ever smiling French staff.The lovely Aurélie, the amusing bow-tied Sam, and the handsome Reda, are always happy, and are definitely the best to brighten up any of the too many gloomy days we have in London.I can't wait for the big bench to be back outside, so I can enjoy my coffee cigarette, when Spring will be back...
