ABOUT THE LONDON REVIEW CAKE SHOP

Surrounded by books and fragrant with tea, the London Review Cake Shop is the modern answer to London’s long-lost literary coffee-houses. Accessed through the Bookshop via a corridor in the history section, the Cake Shop offers a small but vibrant menu, a wide selection of fine teas and a superior espresso. Above all, it provides a haven for reading and reflection.

Manager Terry Glover says:

'I want the Cake Shop to reflect the things I love: lemon trees, fresh herbs, sunny days, home baking, urban foraging, farmers' markets... I like the traditional with a twist.'

The London Review Cake Shop is open Monday- Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6.30 p.m. Visit the Cake Shop at 14 Bury Place, London WC1A 2JL. To get in touch, ring us on 020 7269 9045.
