I spent this afternoon hanging out at the Tate Modern with my friend M (the Harry Callahan exhibition is a beaut!). We found the cafés inside the Tate a little busy, so M took us to The Albion a few minutes walk away.

The cafe is tucked away in a side street. It was bustling without being overwhelmingly busy, and just what we needed after the deluge of tourists in the Tate.

We each had a fresh mint tea and shared a yummy slice of iced carrot cake.

Albion also had a very nice array of treat-foods to shop; breads, biscuits, chocolates with a few gluten free bits thrown in (I spotted some Alara GF muesli and a full range of Montezuma chocolates.)

Lovely place to get a coffee and recuperate, and a nice alternative to the Tate Modern outlets.
