This St Martin’s Lane workhorse aims to provide a place for freelancers and brand new businesses to work (and indulge in the odd coffee, cake and grilled sandwich, of course). The outfit claims to have helped at least twenty new enterprises get off the ground, but if your ambitions are less lofty, come by for breakfast with a French accent (ham and Gruyère crossaints, croque monsieurs) or soups, sandwiches and salads at lunchtime. Industrious endeavours are lubricated by a long roster of Has Bean coffees (you can even order a Chemex for two) or there’s Waterloo teas, beers from Meantime brewery and Bibendum wines.
