This small sandwich shop on Victoria Street is a tiny, local spot that draws a big crowd during lunchtime. Many enjoy their sandwiches on one of the chairs set up on an improvised terrace by the curb.

Though the passage is narrow, it’s still manageable with a mobility device, allowing you to order a sandwich on the go from the friendly staff. Keep in mind that the counter is quite high, which may make ordering difficult for some. The shop also offers cured meats and local products displayed and visible from the street. The venue itself is very small, with a step at the entrance that may limit accessibility inside; however, you can place your order from outside.

There are no public restrooms, with the nearest toilets located at King’s Cross Station, approximately 600 meters away.
