Cafe 101

About Cafe 101

Cafe 101 sits in the basement of the Salvation Army headquarters near Millennium Bridge — a light-filled retreat with a surprisingly spacious feel and natural lighting despite being below street level. Parents appreciate the wide-open layout with plenty of room for buggies and wheelchairs, high tables that accommodate everyone, and impressively clean facilities including toilets with baby changing. The short menu keeps things simple, mulligatawny soup for £2.75, vegetable stroganoff with rice, fish and chips, club sandwiches, and a rotating selection of fresh pastries and cakes, all at prices that feel generous for Zone 1. One visitor noted "the staff going round cleaning all the tables meticulously," and several reviewers mention encountering a friendly team who train here in a supportive environment before moving into wider hospitality roles. The iced lattes and NEMI-brand tea are available, and groups of 14+ have lunched here comfortably. Perfect for a calm midday break between St Paul's and Tate Modern.
