About this place
The historic Cabmen's Shelter near Embankment Station stands as a charming testament to London's vibrant past and enduring character. While these diminutive, iconic green huts once dotted the cityscape, this particular shelter offers a unique dining experience steeped in tradition. Patrons can indulge in substantial offerings like the robust sausage baguette or generously filled bacon rolls, all prepared with care and attention to detail. With its prime location just across from the Charing Cross Theatre, this tiny refuge provides more than just sustenance; it serves a slice of history alongside each cuppa. The welcoming service, reflective of a bygone era of dedicated cabbies, invites you to partake in a genuine London ritual. Though currently encased in construction barriers, its spirit remains a staple of the city's heritage, promising a quaint yet quintessentially British experience upon reopening.
