More is the answer to all those seeking a fast, convenient, and artfully presented but barely nourishing meal. Inside the décor is classic ‘workhouse chic,’ with seating provided on long wooden benches (watch out for splinters), and the staff in period costume. The menu is a delight, with several kinds of gruel available. Customa second helping, but do try to phrase the question in an original manner.

LondONE

Londoners are always trying to get one up on pesky terrorists and this quaint place is no exception. The gutted tube carriage theme works well, smouldering adverts, blackened seats and charred tic experience. Waiters too are dressed appropriately with a range of outfits, from rescue workers in breathing apparatus, shaken City gents in torn suits and dark skinned men with suspicious beards and large rucksacks. Service varies and is subject to severe delays. Most noteworthy is the steak which is washed down well by a couple of Cobra Committee beers.
