Notes
Some information comes from Wikipedia
The photos are mine and were taken in 2024.
Some of us got pizza, which is not like the hand-tossed varieties we are used to in the US.
The desserts on the main level were tasty and pricey.
A couple really enjoyed the Cheese bar on the ground floor.
Nearby, in Neal's Yard, we enjoyed doughnuts.
