This place has it all. Superb vitrolite
ceiling, magnificent blue-tile work & murals, excellent wood
seats and full-on Formica tables, large busy counter, eccentric
locals and a splendid frontage with Gill-face sign. Not to mention
a dream-team Italian family giving the best service this side
of Pellicci's. One drawback: the milling BMG Records staff from
head-office nearby & in-tow pop stars . Also a handy base
for a river visit to the church that featured so ominously hauntingly
in 'The Omen. The River Cafe is one of the greatest old caffs
left in the whole of London. Travel to see it. |
