"Stopped off here as I was on a job Nearby staff on site are very polite and welcoming and the food, wow! I live in the north so I know what a good sandwich is And I can tell you, they did not disappoint at this café definitely a Hidden gem! Made my day after eating at these crappy posh cafés over the last week that charge £10 for a sandwich. And the prices at Royal Café are very cheap for London area"
