This cafe has been around since 1934, making it one of Camden’s oldest eating institutions. The Kentishtowner says: "You can forget any notions of tourists crowding the small space: the queue, which snaked out onto the pavement, was all regulars. You might even call the interior ‘vintage’, with its fixed plastic orange seating and Formica counter. The menu is short, and attractively displayed behind the counter: there’s pie and mash, jellied eels and the best-priced tea and coffee in town.
