Poor croissant :(

Hanging over

An apple juice, an Earl Grey tea and an absurdly floppy microwaved cheese and tomato croissant at "tea drinking place" – ahem – Yumchaa – AHEM – in Soho. A hangover cure of sorts. All on a nice tray with elephants on. Lovely and relaxing.

A chocolate croissant and a black coffee outside the National Theatre. Somebody was playing the guitar.

When Saturday comes

A shared pain au chocolat and a pea, mint and feta muffin at the Royal Festival Hall. A chicken satay salad at Cha Cha Moon. Coffee and cake from Patisserie Valerie, eaten in Green Park.

Archives Of Pain (au chocolat)

A pain au chocolat, or chocolate croissant, or chocolatine, from the new café on Kennington Road. I don't know what it's called, but it's where Jados or Judos or Jedis used to be and after that, the short-lived Dippy Egg.

We were on our way to the Dippy Egg last June, when we got snapped by the Google Streetview car. Excitement. Next time, I'll remember to hold my belly in.
