| Run by the same family right from its
opening day over a half-century ago, this is possibly the most
hidden cafe gem in all of London lost in the Blackheath
Standard area at the top of Greenwich Park. The building dates
from the 1930s, but the unique moulded plywood revolving chairs
were installed during the 1960s. Other fine features: the amazing
flesh-coloured vitrolite and chrome front section; the red and
black Formica back room; the silver deco clock, the tile-floor
parlour, the 100 year old fridge; the nifty old wall heaters.
A masterpiece. |
