Late morning visit, a new Spoons for me and not too busy at this time of day. One of the company directors was in the pub at the time and came over and spoke to us.

I arrived in London a bit early and needed to sit down somewhere warm. Never been here before. At 9:30am it was too early for a beer so diet coke had to do.
