Hen Party · 6 guests · July 2026 · Meeting Room in near Waterloo
Amazing experience at the Travel Cafe! Kevin was very responsive and allowed us to have a sip and paint hen party here which worked out great! We were allowed to bring food and drink and decorate the place as long as it was cleaned up after. It's a beautiful venue and, as the cafe wasn't open yet, we had the whole place to ourselves. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Nothing!

Podcast Studio · 5 guests · August 2026 · Meeting Room in near Waterloo
The Travel Cafe was an absolutely ideal place for us to record a podcast and get some work done in a truly lovely atmosphere. Kevin was a gracious host and I’d happily return the next time I need some space in London to work.
TBH it was super awesome and there’s nothing I disliked. 5/5, would strongly recommend 👍🏼

    'I would hugely recommend the Travel Café as a venue for a party. The venue has a friendly, homely feel with lots of beautiful plants and interior decoration, and it comfortably fit our party of 35. Kevin and his colleague were incredibly friendly, accommodating and flexible to our needs. The selection of drinks, snacks (and plants to buy!) were great and well priced. '
