Find Royal Cafe Westminster
We are on Vincent Square, a quiet garden square in the heart of Westminster, overlooking the green playing fields. Here is the easiest way to walk to us straight from Westminster Abbey — no map required.

Arrive at Vincent Square
The green playing fields of Vincent Square open out in front of you. Royal Cafe Westminster is on the north side of the square, at No. 53 — look for the cream awning and the painted "Royal Cafe Westminster" sign above the window. The kettle will be on.
By Tube
Victoria (Victoria, District & Circle) and St James's Park (District & Circle) are both about an 8-minute walk. Pimlico (Victoria line) is about the same.
By Bus
Routes along Victoria Street, Rochester Row and Vauxhall Bridge Road stop within a few minutes of the square. Alight near Rochester Row or Greycoat Place.
On Foot
Most of our regulars simply walk over after seeing the Abbey — about ten minutes, all on level pavement, pram and wheelchair friendly.
