Pret a Manger

Pret a Manger is a chain that we can more or less define as fast food. It is the ultimate answer the age-old question "where to go to eat / have a snack / drink tea or coffee." The value for your money is perhaps beaten only by street food posts in Camden Town. The food made the same day from local providers and is given to charity at the end of the day if it's unsold. The have free internet (if you have not already done so, register with The Cloud) and the desserts, from brownies to chocolate mousse, are absurdly good. Here are my recommendations: miso soup and sushi. Tip: to save, say that you're ordering "to go", otherwise there is a surcharge (VAT).
