Some friends and I had the chance to partake in a tea party with a twist at the Hoxton Pony. As expected there is cake, but instead of tea, there is a choice of a cocktail to share served in tea cups from the Pony’s unique infusion jars, which keep the drink cold, whilst keeping the ice separate, so you don’t end up with a watery cocktail-like drink by the end. The choice of drinks is ... »

However with there being Venerdi opposite... »

(photo from London Shop Fronts) I was looking at this Percy Ingle Bakery on Chatsworth Road and wondering where the first one was as I knew it was somewhere in east London.
