Where would we be without the traditional London caff?
Milk bars, ice-cream parlours and espresso bars are all a
feature of the London landscape that were borne out of the 1940s to
1960s. It is a time when floods of immigrants set up their
businesses providing frothy coffee to the city's workers.
Today, many of these establishments still function as caffs and
have their original elaborate and shiny machines that continue to
dispense no end of steam and cups of tea, and still feature vinyl
and tiled floors and walls.
This book provides an affectionate look at one of London's
endangered species', featuring 28 caffs throughout the capital.
Each example is accompanied by anecdotal captions which evoke the
atmosphere and context of each place, as well as addresses and
nearest tube stations, so that anyone wanting a fix of old-style
London can go and find it.
