Places like Yurt Cafe make me happy to live in this area! Tucked behind the Limehouse station, Yurt is a series of Mongolian circle huts. The inside is amazingly cozy, great for brunch and of course the coffee is amazing. Want to eat outside? No problem! Picnic tables are set up out there so you can enjoy your drink while soaking up the sun. Yes, we actually get sun sometimes in London!
