Sorry if this is old news but I've only just found this Classic Cafes website.

Quote:
Often dismissed as 'greasy spoons', classic cafes are actually little gems of British vernacular high street design. This site celebrates their ambience and architecture with over 130 vintage Formica caffs reviewed, revealed and reappraised.
Anyway they've got a cafes in film section.

Quote:
Listings of top cafe action in old movies or TV dramas.
It's really very good.

2 quibbles however.

Brief Encounter get's a mention for the ocean liner luxury of a Kardomah cafe but not the station's tea room!

And Billy Liar was 'an embodiment of a specific time in British pop history: Britain was about to elect its first Socialist prime minister ; Huh? Attlee and Ramsay MacDonald obviously don't count!

Adrian has done quite a job on his Website and has written a book. We've communicated about cafes in London. He really has Soho down.

One of the most informative sites that I have visited online.
http://www.classiccafes.co.uk/

If you like coffee, central London and pop history, you will most likely enjoy this site.
