Available on the menu combinations such as Autumn wild mushrooms + spinach + blue cheese & truffle oil, Thai chicken + coconut & lime curry and The naked potato with butter (just encase you’re a fan of the classics) all available on both sweet and your classic jacket potato.

 

Also available is a side of Sweet potato hummus with pear, Gin & Tonic ice Cream and coffee which, I think, is flirting with me??? 

 

 

 

The Time:  Mon – Fri 10am – 6pm

The Place:  

27 Noel Street, Soho, London W1F 8GZ

99 George Street, Unit 30 Boxpark Croydon, CR0 1LD

Have you ever wanted a mini you to greet you after a long day at work, or an army of GI Joe sized figurines with your face at every doorway and window of your home to deter would-be burglars?

Of course you do, so where do you go, to Twin Me that’s where.

Offering 3D printed replicas in varying sizes and poses, Twin Me can give you the perfect gift, yourself.

 

 

Also available are freakishly realistic silicone masks, brilliant for Halloween, or again for deterring would-be burglars, imagine somebody breaking in then immediately be confronted by a 6 foot tall figure of a little girl looking straight at you with a sadistic smile on her face, no thank you very much!

 

 

 

The Time:  Mon – Tue: 12pm – 8pm, Wed – Sat 10.30am – 9pm, Sun 12pm – 6pm

The Place:  127A Queensway, London, W2 4SJ
