"What To Get: An espresso, a cappuccino, or a Negroni. Time Capsule Factor: Few places feel more essential to Soho than Bar Italia. The fashion crowd have always used it for a coffee and a cigarette, but you’re just as likely to find a couple of high-vis workers sitting outside, too. Plenty of other restaurants feel paused at a moment in London’s time. Bar Italia is a snapshot of London, full stop." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
