"A classic caff."
— Time Out London
Jon Snow loves Andrew's fried eggs. As do fellow TV presenters Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Tom Bradby, all of whom signed a petition to prevent developers shutting down this classic caff.
Inside, it's all battered chairs, wipe-down tables and photos of Routemaster buses, with a vast wall-to-wall blackboard menu above the counter. Local cabbies and electricians rub shoulders with familiar faces from the nearby ITN building — here for the stupendous breakfast fry-ups, including top-notch fried slice.
