"Every spring, Towpath comes out of hibernation and London’s baggy, striped linen elite descend on this canalside cafe near Haggerston station armed with Le Specs sunglasses and a pre-scripted excuse for why they’ve been offline for four hours on a Wednesday. Hot pink radishes are dipped in taramasalata, mallards get flirty on Regent’s Canal, and when it’s sunny, everyone leans back and lets their scorching reptilian brains order a second glass of orange wine. Warning: high likelihood of discussing canal boat ownership ahead. Rescue dog named Frank, Bowie, or Patti 2 minutes for every degree celsius" - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
