Welcome to The Londoner, a brand-new magazine all about the capital. Sign up to our mailing list to get two completely free editions of The Londoner every week: a Monday briefing, full of everything you need to know about that’s going on in the city; and a high-quality, in-depth weekend long-read.
No fluff, no gimmicks: just click the button below and get our unique brand of local journalism straight to your inbox.
There they are: the first-timers and the all-lifers and the long-gone-returners, the tourists and the tradespeople and the politicians, the older ladies in skirt suits and the civil servants in starched shirts and the students in baggy jeans, each waiting patiently for their number to be called. The rush usually begins around half 12, when the queue can get so long that it snakes out of the interior and doubles-back up Regency Street, where the Regency Cafe’s black tiled exterior has sat for 80 years.
This story is free to read. You just need to sign up to join The Londoner's mailling list. And why wouldn't you? You'll get our journalism in your inbox the second we publish, keeping up to date on this and all our stories. No card details required.
