It's hard to find a decent cup of tea in a London cafe these days but I found that and more on my way to measuring up a signwriting job, via my local cafe in West Norwood, South London the other day.



It is right opposite the West Norwood fire station and enroute to Tulse Hill station, still run by mum and son - the perfect spot to grab a cuppa and a slice of home made cake.
