Bar Italia's front on Frith Street, with its green script sign, a big clock and neon above, and metal tables on the pavement

Bar Italia

Frith Street, Soho

Address: 22 Frith Street, London W1D 4RF
  • Café
  • Cheap and cheerful
  • Cosy

Perch at the counter or grab a pavement table for an espresso at the Soho café that has been open on Frith Street since 1949.

Why it's a good date: The place to end up after a show or the jazz across the road, when you're not ready for the night to end. Look up for the plaque: John Logie Baird first showed off television in this building.
