There is a rather beautiful faded glory to these mythical creatures, which flank the steps guarding the ruins of the Italian Terraces in front of the former Crystal Palace, which dramatically burnt down in 1936.

Open until late night.  Make sure to sit down for the best hand pulled noodles

Beautiful architecture and setting, ideal place for catching the latest art-house flick or to enjoy evening tea and a journal session. Friendly staff, ambient atmosphere and a wonderful crowd.

Home to hundreds of stray cats and dogs. 

A perfect place for any occasion - or no occasion at all - every table feels like the best one.
