Costa Coffee

You're rushing through Vauxhall station, already thinking about whether you've got time for a proper coffee before your train leaves. This Costa hits the spot when you need something fast and honest. It's the standard Costa experience—solid espresso drinks, a rotating selection of pastries that are actually fresh, and the kind of no-nonsense service you want when you're watching the departure board. Nothing fancy, but that's rather the point. It does what it says on the tin, and locals passing through know it's better than the vending machine alternative.
