Guidebook for London
Food Scene
Jim’s, the oldest café on the street, had been an Italian café and ice cream factory in the 1960s, and latterly was a much-loved local caff until it closed six years ago. It has recently been renovated and has an old school diner feel but with a pretty decent brunch menu. good vibes, especially after a night out or if your starting off a day where you are going to have some fun!
