Cafe Madras

A South Indian institution at King's Circle since 1940, running on filter coffee and a queue that never really ends.

This is a landmark, not a desk. Cafe Madras turns tables fast and the room is built for eating quickly and well, not for settling in with a laptop — go for the dosa and the coffee, then work somewhere else.
