Caravan Covent Garden

You know that feeling when you stumble into a café and immediately think, 'Why haven't I been here before?' That's Caravan on Drury Lane. It's the kind of place where you can roll in at 7am for a flat white and a pastry, or at 1pm for a full brunch situation with mates. The space has that effortlessly cool vibe—industrial-meets-bright, with communal seating if you're feeling sociable or quieter corners if you just want to read the papers. The menu's built around seasonal produce and they take their coffee seriously; the sourdough is the real deal, properly sour and nutty. It's busy without being chaotic, and everyone from hungover theatre-goers to local workers seems to find a spot here.
