This slightly make-shift place oozes with vintage character. Originally a Vespa workshop it has morphed into a cafe without intending to, so it seems. It now serves delicious coffee and snacks from an enthusiast's scooter-memorabilia heaven.

All In London Review
Quaint little venue with mass appeal
There’s no food but you can bring your own, presumably if it doesn’t smell too off-putting and along with the coffee there’s a small selection of bottled beers and wine. Company can be kept with the cat who routinely prowls the tables and arty events are to be found listed amongst the fliers and below the cafe it has its own performance space. There’s weekly music in the basement and like the cafe in general, beckons an interestingly mixed clientele, plus it makes the most of itself with opening hours all the way from eight in the morning to midnight at weekends.
It has to be seen and it’s another one of those places that makes you tisk at the stupidity of the hungover you that woke up and declared a boredom with your London life. Silly you, there’s Scooter Works to drink at. Tut, tut.

London's most romantic bars
It's nearly time... for sexy time...
Scooter Works is the former Vespa repair shop that ditched the grease for the greasers with a beatnik array of film, music and art to get your pulses revving. With fairy lights in all the right places, cubby-holes for canoodling and an all round fog of lusty romance the place alone might have you weak at the knees.
Aaah! London's most romantic places
Is love in the air? The let's get it onnnnn...

With fairy lights in all the right places, canoodleable (made up word alert) cubby-holes and an all round fog of lusty romance the café itself is so pretty it might just make you go weak at the knees.
