This month we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the airing of probably the best loved US sitcom, Friends.

In London, the Central Perk coffee shop has been recreated on Broadwick Street, Soho. The drop-in coffee lounge is a replica of the coffee shop in the hit TV series. I have not yet seen any of the Friendsthere, but this lunch time, the real Gunther was in prime position on that famous sofa as a line of people queued outside for the chance to have a coffee in one of the world’s most famous hang-outs.

Coffee Perk in London
“Friends” – my new friend Gunther!

Central Perk is not a permanent fixture in London; it will be open daily from 8am to 6pm for the next two weeks, until 7th October. Pop in for a coffee when you take one of our personal London day tours!
