Good Old Deli

You'll find Good Old Deli tucked away on Old Street, in that bit of EC1 where the office workers and creative types collide. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself—the queues at lunchtime speak volumes. Walk in and you're met with a stripped-back counter setup, board listing the day's specials, and staff who actually know what they're doing. The sandwiches here aren't Instagram fodder; they're proper, hefty things built on good bread with fillings that taste like real food rather than corporate shortcuts. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite between meetings or settling in with a coffee, this is the deli that reminds you why a proper sandwich matters.
