for the curious, Astral Cafe gets its name from the Building itself ie "Astral house"

Russell,

If you're in Pimlico/Victoria area, try Wiltons in Wilton Road, junction of Longmoore Road. Again, another place featured in "London Caffs", and "Classic Cafes".

I was last here in December, hopefully it hasn't been altered in the past month. It's pretty small, so get there outside of peak periods. I think it's open from 7am - 3pm, weekdays,till about 2pm on Saturday. The grub's ok, and the Polish waitresses create a good vibe. The caff has a snug feeling, almost like a ship's cabin - especially in the two booths at the back, which aren't recommended for the claustrophobic !

The "Pronto Grill" in Strutton Ground, off Victoria St. isn't bad for fry-ups. I like the garishly painted sign. I doubt whether it gets much trade from the nearby Channel 4 H.Q.

correct. and that'll be because we've had too many 'orrible reports relative to that particular joint.

the regency cafe, regency street, just off horseferry road is the place to go. in fact, you could probably catch a glimpse of the regency from outside the astral. which, as already mentioned, is also a nice little cafe.

maybe the two could be included in a cafe crawl?

The Regency wins hands down - classic cafe feel and shouty staff let you know your ebcb are ready. You will have seen this cafe featured in the movie "Layercake". Fab place. Always full.

The weird thing is, I live on Page Street and I've never actually eaten at ANY of these places XDD

The neighbourhood is pretty boring though.

Yes, The Regency really is tremendous.

Contrary to the comment of an earlier poster, you will indeed see many C4 employees hunched over ebcb - I should know, I'm one of them.

The Astral is good, but once you've tried the chips at The Regency, there is no going back.

Per accident i stumbled accross this website and to my most surprise i even see an article on the favorite eatery place i visited regulary during my 5 week training in London. I shall always remember the good food and generous scoop portions of parmesan cheese on my spaghetti bolognese.

Never been in here for lunch despite me working at DFT on marsham street a few meters away. The regency is my favourite.

great blog too, but how do you afford all those EBCB's??!!!?!
