"One of my favourite places in London! I worked nearby for years, and I still find myself wandering off there just for fun. Restaurants are very busy usually, so it is normal to get to queue, especially if the place is very popular on socials. Some places may say they accept only cash, which is very unusual for London, so I would push back that you only have the card - it usually works! "
