Cheap eats in the City.


The City is the wealthiest square mile on earth. Do we need a fortune to eat here and if so why are the security guards so fat?

This is a breakfast baguette from Temples/Fuzzies Grub (sharing the same premises). Two sausages, two fried eggs and two rashers of bacon. The difference between this and Subway is that this one has authentic flavour and Subway does not. The cost was £3.50 which is cheap for London. Service was quick and everything was clean. The ownership of this cafe is quite unclear as there seem to be two outfits using the same name.
This is KFC which is quite a surprising chain to find in the City. Many of them are hidden in historic areas and carry no signage. The only way to find them is by scent!

This one had a slightly dissolute and sinister air as it was entirely full of men hunched over mobile phones or muttering quietly among themselves in languages I could not identify. The great majority were couriers of one sort or another waiting for their next job and therefore quite safe.

The way to get a tasty bargain is to download the app. This is the best cafe based scheme I am aware of. I would advise you all to do so and use the following code when you register it- 234B97. With this we can eat for as little as £1.25. Use my code and we both get bonus chicken.

Finally we have my beloved Crosse Keys where one can get a sit down meal and conversation. I hold my City of London Book club meetings here from time to time. Free WiFi.
