We can be the first step in planning your new space. We work with clients to understand their goals and needs and help apply that information to a scope of work. Key to this phase is helping clients understand their design aesthetic, walking them through the research phase of educating themselves on styles and working with them to hone in on the appropriate direction of their project.

Excellent coffee and great place to relax for five minutes whilst in London. Staff are lovely and friendly! I was with a young girl I support who lives in care and they made her feel very welcome and even gave her a free chocolate crossaint! Not many places these days with such fabulous service! 100% recommend a visit ☕

This branch is typically quiet in the mornings. It has very friendly staff who are always keen to help and their selection of hot breakfast food is good. You can have porridge, super eggs with a range of toppings, a bagel with topping or even a rolled omelette with filling. I like to have the super eggs with bacon and sometimes mix it up by having the bagel with peanut butter. Both are absolutely delicious and a healthy way to start the day. The website shows all of the calorie information and the prices are reasonable considering the location. You can swap the milk in your coffee to a wide range

I always take chicken noodle soup there and it's pretty good. Haven't tried anything else as those weird things aren't for me. Staff is friendly and the inside is nice.

Yet another fashionable chain café that's almost exactly the same as all the other fashionable chain cafes. This one's different and special because it's got paler decor and slightly healthier food, like slightly off-white version of pod.
