Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 2 and Version 1 of Museum Of London Cafe, EC2Y 5HN

The cafe adjacent to the Museum of London on London Wall near the Barbican.

It sells hot soup and rolls (2 choices, £3.75), as well as sandwiches, cakes and hot and cold drinks.

secretlondon went there at 1.45pm on a weekday in September. Initially there were no staff but someone shortly arrived. There were no other customers.

She bought a pre-packaged smoked ham and edam sandwich (by Daily Bread) for £3.70 and a can of Ubuntu fairtrade cola for £1.70. The staff member put in the can of drink for £2.20 and she commented. He denied it, smiled at her and said he had put it through for £1.50. She backed down as he wasn't prepared to move. After she had paid he looked at the receipt and gave her 50p back. He didn't apologise.

The feel of the cafe is like a conservatory. The chairs are metal and the table tops are fake marble plastic. Some tables are also outside. She didn't check to see if you could smoke there.

There was musak in the background which was quiet but still musak. The reciept had "Digby Trout rest" on the top so it may be run by an outside organisation.

There is a lift to the podium level and no stairs so there is certainly step free access inside. There are toilets inside the cafe and in the museum on the same level.
