UPDATED AGAIN: The Wilton has gone. Replaced by a Mexican restaurant.
UPDATE: The Wilton has had a bit of a make-over and some of the unreconstructedness of it has gone.
The Wilton Snack Bar is a fabulously unreconstructed place in Victoria. It's tiny, but bright with large windows and chatty Eastern European women.
A textbook ebcb. Delicate little chips. A sprawling egg. Compact beans. This one went down very quickly.
Good boothy/benchy things. And a lovely patina on the tables.
There's good pillars in here with lovely 60s looking tiles.
Aaah.
Good recommendation. The Wilton was my local caff when I worked a couple of doors up - it's usually rammed at lunch and for good reason. Excellent fry-ups and take out sarnies :-)

I used to go here for about a couple of years. then they got new people in who kept changing the prices and started serving food which wasn't cooked properly and inedible. i mentioned to the staff and they just shrugged! hopefully they move on and i can go back as its a lovely caf.

Woefully, the Wilton has now become the Won't-on. Inside, the windows are covered with faded tabloids and outside, if memory serves, the lovely signage is gone. Happily though, the Victoria Cafe on Terminus Place (between the Tube entrance and Pacha disco-club) shows no sign of slipping away. It does a very decent bacon sarnie and a smashing brew. Best though, the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the steps into the Tube provide opportunity for hours of inactive observation.
