I popped into very sweet cafe Loafing in Victoria Park Village this week for tea and cake. Fine china crockery, an impressive chandelier, shabby chic decor, sponge cake, brownies and an extremely friendly and accommodating staff (read, let me snap a What Is She Wearing?! and vey help with baby stuff) made this a one-to-go-back-to. Especially as some pieces (the china teacups, antique mirrors) are for sale – look out for the price tags. Where do you like to hang out in east London? Do you have a favourite cafe? And are you the brownie or sponge cake type of girl or guy?
