Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium

Taking inspiration from Tokyo, where this kind of thing first blossomed, Lady Dinah's was London's very first cat café, opening its doors back in 2014. Filled with cute kitties, faux-vintage furnishings and plenty of chintzy crockery, this crowd-funded caff in Bethnal Green takes cat loving to a new level. 

There are 13 cats mooching about, providing the backdrop to light meals, sandwiches, salads and bagels filled with things like houmous, tomato and cucumber, egg and cress or honey-mustard chicken and rocket. High teas and afternoon teas are also available, alongside a range of interesting pots of tea – think chantilly cream tea, or popcorn green tea.
