Look Mum No Hands, Old Street
Based on London’s Old Street, Look Mum No Hands is perhaps the country’s best known cycling café.
To succeed in the capital in any business takes some doing, but Look Mum No Hands has forged its own community, with cycling at the heart of it, with a second café opened on Mare Street in east London and, at the moment, a Christmas pop-up on the South Bank.
Businessmen and cyclists will often sit on adjoining tables, such is Look Mum No Hands’ clique-free atmosphere – all lured by the superb coffee and food. The Classics and Grand Tours are shown live on television, while there’s also a busy workshop for repairs.
The true testament to Look Mum No Hands’ success is the number of cycling coffee shops to have popped up since their trailblazing efforts at the turn of the decade.
