The Almshouses café, Durham

The Almshouses café in Durham has one of the best locations anybody could wish for, in Durham: just betwen the Cathedral and the Castle, built in a clearly historic building and internally decorated soberly and nicely.

It is a pity that, once at the table, the windows are so high that no outside view is possible. On the other hand, there is really little reason for entering, since  - along the most common English tradition – the coffee is bad and the cakes uninspiring. Thanks God, tea is easily made well.

This venue, in most other European Countries, could not even excercise the business, since there are no toilets for customers.
