Cafe Lia London - Carta

Combination cafe, camera store and gallery. Great tea and scones. Also looked like good fruit/vegetable drinks

Has good pastries, has soya milk, decent wi fi. Quite a central location with attractions near by. I can't remember how much I paid though.

Stopped here on the way back from the British Museum. Good coffee, had a honey Latte. Lovely friendly service and nice comfy chairs. The theme of cameras is well done and a visit to the basement shows you how much camera equipment has changed. Ver carta

Came across this place by accident but very glad I did. Amazing collection of cameras old and modern, plus a fantastic coffee shop upstairs also. What more could a camera nut want ! There is a small shop in the store that sells used equipment...

This café is a laid-back spot located upstairs, with a captivating camera museum downstairs. There is a small entry fee of £1 for the museum, but it seems to go uncollected. The place is a haven for camera enthusiasts, offering accessories for vintage cameras and repair services. They also serve coffee, cakes, and snacks in a relaxed atmosphere, conveniently located near the British Museum. This unique and enjoyable spot is quirky and fun.

My companion I were thrilled to discover this quirky, welcoming, independent cafe. The background music of Leonard Cohen was a masterstroke. The coffee, Lavazza was exceptional. We only popped in for coffee but were lured by the menu to sample delicious hot homemade soup on this freezing January day. I can recommend this cafe/camera museum without reservation for those who enjoy a deviation from the mainstream dross and wish to gain an authentically pleasing experience.

I stopped in here while a little bit lost near the British Museum I needed a quiet place to collect my thoughts and plan my actions. I had just arrived in London on an overnight flight from New York and I desperately needed caffeine, WiFi, and new British £s. I had just learned my British pounds from 2006 I’d brought were no good(! The gentleman running this cafe was wonderful he accepted my outdated £s, no problem, and served me a delicious cappuccino, and I finally had WiFi access! This place is a quiet little haven on a very busy street. The camera museum adds to the charm. Ver carta
