"The Foundling Hospital Café is a special place to eat in a unique museum. Located in Bloomsbury just off Brunswick Square (nearest tube stop: Russell Square), behind Coram's Fields, the Foundling Hospital was established by Thomas Coram in 1739 and strongly supported by the composer George Friderick Handel and the artist William Hogarth. Besides emerging as one of Europe's first homes for orphans, it also quickly developed into one of London's first public art galleries. Today, you can visit special exhibitions dedicated to the work of Handel, Coram, and Hogarth, among others. The café is delightful and inexpensive, with an attractive, leafy outside area. It's also right next door to the very cool shops and cafes of the Brunswick Centre, which features a rather high end farmer's market of international foods on Saturday mornings."
