How many people can say that they’ve eaten breakfast in a Victorian-era urinal??

June 7, 2014

On Wednesday morning before class, I decided that I wanted to grab breakfast from this coffee shop that I had read about online but couldn’t quite wrap my head around—The Attendant. Built in 1890 as a Victorian bathhouse, The Attendant now labels itself as “Europe’s most unique espresso & food bar spaces,” so obviously I had to experience it for myself (http://www.colourtesting.co.uk/attendant/). I mean just the thought of eating in a converted toilet was so out there that I couldn’t really fathom how it’s become so popular. The restaurant is on Foley Street, a short walk from the Goodge Street station, and was pretty easy to find. My first impression was of the ornate ironwork leading down to the interior which was quite stunning.
