Ep 17 – 31 May 2017 – ..Fight the rules..
…esp if they are about semantic indentation!!!
Location: Starbucks Coffee, 37-39 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6BG
Order: 1 x White Mocha Frap, 1 x Mocha
Review: 4/5
Comment: Finally a quiet venue! If Bill’s is the spiritual home of BPR for food, Starbucks is the alter for drink. Only background rumble was when the table shook as the tube passed. Otherwise, nice place, nice coffee, great chat!
