Lumen Cafe - Camden

What a great peaceful place to have a works day out. The cafe especially was a treat to behold and great service and particulate fabulous food supplied and served with a beaming smile Well done all The Food Chain thank you x

Excellent if you want a very reasonably priced delicious lunch or snack in central London in a calm and friendly casual cafe atmosphere. Also in an inspirational architectural award-winning space. This is absolutely the ideal place to come for lunch or a snack if you have been to the British Museum or elsewhere in Bloomsbury e.g. The Thomas Coram Foundling Museum or shopping in quirky Lamb 's Conduit Street or if you work nearby. Open mostly on weekdays during the day. Excellent for vegetarians e.g. Stuffed aubergine and interesting soups. Staffed by friendly volunteers. The space is multi faith, the building design has a real WOW factor and the history of the building is fascinating too. Also host interesting exhibitions- the current exhibition showing till end Dec 2016 a different point of view focuses on pictures of London 's landmark buildings and architecture in nature.

An oasis in the heart of Bloomsbury serving a good value and tasty cooked breakfast. Good veggie choices too. Equi distant from kings cross/st Pancras and Russell Square stations, worth the walk for the food, friendly staff and interesting RIBA award winning building.

Just off the main drag you'll find the Lumen Cafe offering great home cooked food in a relaxing and calm building with a wonderful patio garden. There's even an art gallery with regularly changing and provoking exhibitions (free). The menu is fresh and healthy, starting with great breakfasts with good quality coffee, lunches with seasonal food, all cooked to order. Staff are friendly and helpful, and always able to help with with recommendations. Well worth a visit !

It opens at 8.00 a.m. weekdays which was a little late for me. It is inside a church and the staff have that Churchy feel very friendly and welcoming though a little proper! The inside is beautiful very high ceilings, clean and loads of light. Chairs are plastic and uncomfortable. I was the only person in there at that time. The cooked English breakfast was outstanding quality sausages and bacon, and fried egg cooked to my liking. Good quality coffee. I enjoyed the visit and I will return next time I am in the area.
