Café at Sotheby's

Located on fashionable New Bond Street (the ritziest, most glamorous of addresses), this café sits in the lobby of the world-famous auction house. The place is an unexpected treat, offering simple lunch and breakfast options and an attitude-free staff. Mirrors and modern prints line the walls, and lunch selections include pasta with pancetta, gorgonzola and thyme, not to mention the famous, luxurious lobster club sandwich. Salads with tangy homemade dressings are popular, and desserts include an array of puddings, cakes and chocolate treats. TUBE: Green Park or Bond Street
