Is Honest Sausage a food cart? We're always up for a walk.

I also like the looks of the Russell Sq. Cafe in the Garden as featured in eggsbaconetc. That would be a pleasant walk for us.

The Russel Sq cafe is great.

There's also a variety of decent cafes in and around Judd St nearby. There's an italian run place on the corner of Judd St that used to be very good when I worked in the area (this was a few years ago mind).

Thanks, Mr. Warner! We'll check those out.

Honest Sausage is not a food cart. It is an actual building with a few tables inside and outside seating as well if the weather is nice. We stopped there on our way walking thru the park on our way to the zoo.

Good to know, ckiskie. Thanks.

You are also near a couple of hospitals and universities - ok the atmosphere will be crap but all those students, patients and staff need to be fed.

May an outsider wander into a University cafeteria, absorb the student atmosphere, and eat?

RM67 Feb 1st, 2009 09:13 AM

I would have thought those facilities are for residents and their visitors only.

stokebailey Feb 1st, 2009 09:28 AM

That would seem safer and reasonable, RM. But anyone can pay to eat with the students at the US universities I know about.

Since one of us is a student, I thought it might be fun. (She hopes to study abroad in a couple of years.) The caf at her college is the best dining deal in its small town.

No. And you wouldn't want to.

Having said that there are umpteen places in Bloomsbury to eat breakfast. It's the one meal that we English can confidently say we are the best in the world at.

Blimey C_W - you made it to work in all that snow! I'm impressed.

Think I will leave at lunchtime in order to beat the rush home tonight.

Cholmondley_Warner Feb 2nd, 2009 02:42 AM

Nope. Am "working from home". As you can see.

Also, please, we'll be at the Grosvenor House on Park Lane after getting back to town and before flying out. Financial considerations aside, can one trust establishments called Bord'eaux and Le P'tit Cafe to provide an honest English breakfast?

I'm guessing Mayfair isn't a hotbed of greasy spoons. Do we head north?

The Wolseley, which I mentioned at the beginning, is not far from Park Lane.

stokebailey Feb 2nd, 2009 09:49 AM

All right! We'll save the fancy things for last. Thanks, yk.
