My new favourite place to hold meetings. Great friendly staff and in true Piccadilly style serving Fortnums tea which I love! Delicious cinnamon wheel and lots of delicious looking pastries on display

The seats were comfortable, tables were broad enough for work and meetings. The entire place felt super clean and sanitised, with a nice fragrance in the air. The staff were very polite. A great place for both work and leisure meetings!
