Peloton & Co cycle café in Spitalfields, London

In addition to trying new foods and restaurants, my other interest is taking part in the odd cycle ride (see end of the blog post).  So while I was wandering around Spitalfields London today, I was pleased to stumble across Peloton & Co - a small cycle shop that also doubles up as a café.

Peloton & Co served everything you'd expect from a café, including: teas, coffees, soft drinks, cakes and more.  The teas we ordered were £1.50 each, so competitively priced.

The shop had a nice homely and almost rustic feel to it - unlike your average coffee shop chain. They also had a projector screen showing the Tour of Britain - fantastic mid afternoon entertainment!

Next time I am in Spitalfields and in need of a quick drink, I'll be sure to visit this place again!

What's it like to drink tea in a converted Victorian toilet?

I recently stumbled across The Attendant in Fitzrovia, London. Quite simply, it's an old underground Victorian toilet that's been converted into a café - complete with original urinals.

Inside, the items on sale are not dissimilar from other cafés, with coffee, tea, cakes etc available. But the very obvious sight of urinals and a hand dryer make for a novel experience.

I usually have a thing about toilets and, although the urinals hadn't been used for around 50 years, I still found myself not wanting to touch any of them!
