Crown Cafe Bar, Strand, WC2 (nr Aldwych circus, Lyceum theatre)

Greasy-style cafe, and that’s a good thing! Honest food that keeps you going.
Decent espresso from here too, although not worth going out of your way for. Plenty of seats, for eating, and some window perches looking over the busy Aldwych junction at The Lion King in the Lyceum Theatre opposite.
Coffee ***
£1.70 (or £1.60 – depends!)
