Cafe Koha - 11 St Martin's Lane

This place is my favourite wine bar and I hope it forever remains a secret. It should be protected from the hoards of tourist, after work crews and ladies what lunch that attach themselves to nearby Leicester Square. It’s for me and my friends only. I’ve been coming here for years now and have never once failed to get a table either outside or in. Outside is a great stage door vantage point, although I’ve only ever managed to catch a glimpse of Patrick Stewart, which is none too impressive really considering you’ve got two or three stage doors and the entrance to the celebrity fest that is J.Sheekey, but that’s my fault for generally not paying enough attention. Inside is a wood panelled intimate wine bar with a menu of amuse bouches to go with the lovely range of plonk (all countries new and old world fully represented and the odd beer can be produced if you ask nicely) I can sit here for hours watching the world go by and frequently do.
