Corney & Barrow bars are part of the City landscape, but they've now settled in areas of central London. The clientele are mostly professionals who are here to wind down after a hard day at the office. C&B Fleet Place is a thoroughly pleasant place, benefiting from huge windows - which open onto the world on hot summer days. Straddling two floors, the light and airy ground level operates as a full-time bar, while the basement, with its arched ceiling, turns into a brasserie at lunchtime with bookable tables and waiter service. Food is served all day, on both floors, from breakfast onwards. The menu changes monthly, and encompasses everything from sandwiches with a range of fillings to salads, tapas and croquettes, which are sold at very reasonable prices. Cocktails are also available, and you can get a champagne breakfast if you book two weeks in advance.
