On my way back from the Borealis light installation at Guildhall Yard<\/a> on Thursday evening, I happened upon an A-board for a speciality coffee shop and wine bar tucked away off Old Jewry, just around the corner from Bank Station. Intrigued by the name, Where’s Fred’s<\/a>, I stopped by the following day. I didn’t find Fred but I did find some very fine coffee and brunch in the handsome, townhouse setting on a certain Frederick’s Place.<\/p>\n

While I was at Where’s Fred, I was able to chat to Natalie and Michel about the cafe, London coffee shops and much more. As London \u2014 and the world more generally \u2014 moves back into more difficult times again as a result of the Omicron COVID-19 variant, it’s always a comfort to make small human connections like this. I got a very warm welcome at Where’s Fred’s, which encourages me to make a return visit as soon as I can. Maybe I’ll even get to meet Fred!<\/p>\n

After my visit, I found out that Where’s Fred’s is run by Chelsea Finch, who also runs the District coffee shops<\/a>, which I also rate very highly. With hindsight, there were a few clues among the design elements and concept that might have tipped me off about this connection before. <\/p>\n
