Neal’s Yard, a cosy courtyard near Covent Garden, shouldn’t be missed during a London visit - whether it’s your first or tenth time in the British capital. The easiest way to get there is from Monmouth Street near Covent Garden tube station. You can also step off at Tottenham Court Road, or Leicester Square, and take an extra five minutes walk. Once there, order a lunch at one of the eateries and enjoy the hopefully sunny weather.

In Veggie & Organic London, the author Russel Rose describes the World Food Café (at 14 Neal’s Yard) with “Regrettably, eating here is not great value for money overall, but then it is a great tourist vantage point.” I agree, the food is a tad too expensive. The main reason to go there is the location. Instead, opt for Neal’s Yard Salad Bar and pick one of their tasty vegetarian salads, an exotic fruit drink, and sit down under the parasols outside. A perfect spot during warm spring days.
