Bar Italia

"One of London's great espresso bars, open since 1949 and still buzzing past midnight. Order an espresso, drink it standing at the counter, and feel exactly where you are."

What we love

• •Traditional Italian espresso bar format, fast counter service, no fuss
• •Espresso, cappuccino, cortado, macchiato, all executed with 75 years of practice behind them
• •A Soho institution where coffee is the point, not an afterthought
