I love this place! A charming little sandwich shop/cafe. They have a wide range of sandwich fillings, "styles" (old school, baguette, bap, etc), and salads, all of which are home made/prepared and, in my experience, all are delicious! They do a daily chicken special, (organic and halal no less!) - they seem to alternate between a pesto, Italian tomato style thing, tikka with the occasional Very Special thrown in (I am, while writing this, enjoying a delicious Thai Chicken salad!)
If, like me, you are the kind of nosey bugger who likes to swap recipes, you will find these guys happy to tell you their recipes, offer hints and tips, and by Jupiter do they make a good sandwich! Any sandwich that has to be handed over with a handful of napkins, a fork and a warning to tackle it once sat down scores highly in my book!
Essentially, this is a great place to go for a filling and delicious lunch, but the thing that really stands out for me is the staff - they are all so very charming and friendly, the guys behind the counter are genuinely interested and knowledgeable about food and I always leave the joint with the impression that it really matters to them that I enjoy my food! Which I always do.
At the end of September Iâ¬"m moving offices and I think it might break my heart. Although I seriously think that the 40minute round trip to get my lunch from here would be worth it.
Top tip: Take extra napkins, maybe even a bib. Once purchased, take your lunch over the road to Bloomsbury Square Gardens. On a nice sunny day I can think of few nicer ways to spend my lunch break. Thereâ¬"s also entertainment potential in watching misguided tourists trying to find the British Museum.

Like every other Subway - they serve subs, cookies, watered down fountain drinks and crisps.

You won't find anything more or less than any of the others.

There's usually a guy standing nearby with coupons for various Subway promotions, so chances are you won't have to pay full whack.Like every other Subway - they serve subs, cookies, watered down fountain drinks and crisps.
