Weird Is Wonderful: London's Quirky Cafes

Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium – Viktoriya K

London is known for many things — its amazing views, vibrant nightlife and, most recently, its quirky cafes! From board games and grilled cheese to cats and cahoots, this week we uncover the more unusual spots to grab a drink and a bite in London town. Weird is wonderful!

Draughts 18 reviews Haggerston  337 Acton Mews, London  Cafes “This is a fabulous place to take kids on a weekend. They have literally hundreds of board games and 'games gurus' to help explain the rules of whichever game you choose... It's a great looking place under a railway arch, and the staff are super friendly.”  Helena S., London

Cereal Killer Cafe 47 reviews Brick Lane  139 Brick Lane, London  Breakfast & Brunch “Couldn't have a better name because what I ate was really a sugar-infused heart attack in a bowl! ... It's cool, it's quirky, it's colourful, and fun! The cereal cocktails are interestingly put together... I still think the concept is great.”  Díana B., London

Melt Room 9 reviews Soho  26 Noel Street, London  Cafes “Melt Room didn't disappoint... We had the lamb grilled cheese... with all the beautiful flavours it was hard not to recognise the one with delicious and soft lamb. The lamb and the cheese and the mustard, gosh, I wished it never ended!”  Aurélie C., London

Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium 37 reviews Brick Lane  152-154 Bethnal Green Road, London  Cafes “The spot for you if your London accommodation is tragically pet free! ... 12 adorable cats, including the delightful Wookie, await within this small shop near Brick Lane... The coffee and food is good, but let's face it, you're going there for the cats!”  Philip R., London

Cahoots Bar 18 reviews Soho  13 Kingly Court Soho, London  Bars “Cahoots is a great experience. Walking past the 'To the Trains' sign was the first piece of the 1940s theme. It really looks like you are entering an old tube station... They've even recreated a tube carriage inside, with booth seating for groups.”  Katie H., London
