Austerity bites: central London's £1 cafe enjoying a healthy start

Fitzrovia’s new Caffix cafe is drawing in Londoners looking for an affordable lunch option by charging just £1 for all items

Office workers are queueing up for lunch at a new cafe tucked away in a corner of Fitzrovia in central London – where all food items cost £1.

From avocado and chicken baguettes to pots of curried chickpeas, quinoa salad or pesto pasta with roast beef, Caffix cafe on Newman Street sells food for a fraction of the price that they would normally spend in the heart of capital.
