Want to visit one? Have a read of our top picks and enjoy an afternoon coffee or\u00a0sandwich with a twist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cereal &#8211; Cereal Killer Cafe<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Any fan of cereal needs to visit this colourful cafe. It&#8217;s filled with foreign, rare and crazy cereals, a host of toppings, and over 20 different milk options. The cafes are decorated with vintage cereal boxes and collectables you might recognise from your childhood. The original cafe is on Brick Lane (nearest station Shoreditch High Street). But there is also a brand new branch in Camden Market (nearest station Camden Town).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe02-e1436540999593.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"427\" class=\"wp-image-7722\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe02-e1436540999593.jpg\" alt=\"Visit London's Only Cat Cafe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe02-e1436540999593.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe02-e1436540999593-600x366.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe02-e1436540999593-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cats &#8211; Lady Dinah&#8217;s Cat Emporium<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Just around the corner from the Shoreditch Cereal Killer Cafe, you will find Lady Dinah&#8217;s <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cat <\/span>Emporium, London&#8217;s only cat cafe. You&#8217;ll need to book in advance for this as it&#8217;s very popular, but once you get in, you can enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/afternoon-tea-in-london\">a traditional afternoon tea<\/a> amongst a clowder of cats (yes, that&#8217;s the collective term &#8211; who knew?). As the cafe itself advertises, you cannot look at a sleeping cat and feel tense; it&#8217;s the perfect way to escape the bustle of the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Poached Eggs &#8211; Foxcroft and Ginger<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A cafe that specialises in poached eggs, is made even more quirky by the fact that it &#8216;s based inside a vintage clothes shop in Dalston (closest station Dalston Kingsland). They store their eggs for over an hour at a consistent temperature of 63 degrees celsius &#8211; a way of keeping the yolk runny while cooking the white perfectly. If eggs are your thing, <a href=\"http:\/\/foxcroftandginger.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">then this is your place<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe03-e1436541034964.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"457\" class=\"wp-image-7723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe03-e1436541034964.jpg\" alt=\"A poached egg cafe in a vintage clothes shop\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe03-e1436541034964.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe03-e1436541034964-600x392.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe03-e1436541034964-150x98.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Melted Cheese &#8211; Meltroom<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Meltroom in Soho (nearest station Tottenham Court Road) celebrates all things cheese, especially melted and in between bread. Known in the UK as a &#8216;cheese toastie&#8217;, Americans are more familiar with the concept of &#8216;grilled cheese&#8217;. Whatever way you say it, it certainly tastes good. The menu even has a sweet version &#8211; milk bread filled with mascarpone cheese and nutella &#8211; delish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Board Games &#8211; Draughts<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Throwback to your childhood with a visit to the board game cafe Draughts in\u00a0East London (nearest station Haggerston). With a frankly overwhelming selection of board games to choose from, grab a table with a friend or two in this stylish cafe and let battle commence. They have a menu of fresh, tasty dishes and are open until at least 11pm every night, which is useful if that game of monopoly goes on longer than everyone expected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe04-e1436541828177.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"369\" class=\"wp-image-7725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe04-e1436541828177.jpg\" alt=\"The cafe where you don't pay for anything, except time\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe04-e1436541828177.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe04-e1436541828177-600x316.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.goldentours.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/cafe04-e1436541828177-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Porridge &#8211; Porridge Cafe<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The healthier alternative to the cereal cafe, as the name suggests, head here if you really like porridge. A glance at their menu reveals it&#8217;s not as plain as it may sound. They serve\u00a0flavoured oats and have\u00a0toppings such as coconut, chia seeds\u00a0and\u00a0peanut butter as well as savoury porridge dishes.\u00a0It&#8217;s just around the corner from Victoria Station.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time &#8211; Ziferblat<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ziferblat.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">This unique Russian cafe<\/a> doesn&#8217;t charge for coffee or snacks, instead it charges you based on how long you stay.
