Free Knowledge

Vespertine Press' second edition of their excellent London Cafe Guide is just out - a free copy to the first two e-mail responses from the over 450 caterers and clients who have already taken our London Cafe Tour.  
You may find you need to come out again and see all that is happening in one of the most dynamic cafe cities on the planet.  There is just so much that is new, innovative and 'popping up'.  If you haven't yet organised a Tour for your organisation, get persuaded by checking out  http://greatcafes.blogspot.co.uk/p/london-cafe-tour-benefits.html

Free knowledge continues via the Great Cafes Blog - over 800 posts to date - and something new every week day.

The New Pubs

London Evening Standard yesterday "Cafes are the new pubs" talking about places where you can actually meet a friend without being intimidated and where you can hear yourself speak.  You can't argue that pubs are closing and cafes are growing.  The Standard list their top 50 cafes at: http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/bars/londons-50-best-cafes-8509145.html

Tart Comment

The best comment (compliment, naturally!) about the Great Cafes blog added to this post by the weekend wins the ring.  If you are shy about commenting, a photo I can use on the Guest Spot will qualify.  A Great Cafes Christmas present for rebellious teens unearthed by my teenage daughter from an outfit called Punky Allsorts.
