Inside the Victoria and Albert Museum, The V&A Café is more than a place to grab a coffee — it’s a destination in itself. Housed in the museum’s historic refreshment rooms, the space features soaring ceilings, stained glass, and ornate Victorian tiling, making it one of the most atmospheric cafés in London. The menu balances practicality and indulgence: freshly brewed coffee and teas, pastries, sandwiches, and hot dishes that suit both a quick stop or a longer pause between galleries. There’s also a nod to tradition with afternoon tea options, enjoyed in a setting steeped in history. Service is efficient and friendly, catering to both museum-goers and locals who slip in just for the café. It’s not about cutting-edge coffee trends, but about enjoying a cappuccino or scone in one of the most beautiful café spaces in the city.
