Not sure whether a successful local business need our charity/sanctimony, but yes their cakes and pastries are excellent.


Although the past THREE times we've tried to go in, they've been shut with a notice on the door saying "opening 1hr late today" or whatever... so they should probably get some extra help, or publish more realistic opening times!

Can't see the problem RPC, they're migrants from France but immigrants to the UK. Admittedly "immigrant" has become a pejorative term for the right, but I can't see what's puritanical about it.

More 17th/18th century Louisa really - by 1700 there were nine Huguenot churches in Spitalfields, when in 1685 there was none. I'd say the Huguenots were essentially refugees, in that they were forced unwillingly to leave their home country because conditions had become intolerable there. Proud to claim descent from them via my paternal ancestry!
