Look Mum No Hands opens sister venue lmnh in Whitechapel

There was a second branch in Hackney but it had to close as the landlord had other plans. So they're as much victims of gentrification as perpetrators.

The Old Street Look Mum No Hands is an institution and my favourite place to watch a big event. Maybe not the very best coffee in an area well served by outstanding cafes: Ozone would probably be my preferred destination if all I wanted was an espresso. Fewer choices in Whitechapel, although a fascinating location. There's the art gallery, the Cable Street mural, Wilton's Music Hall and Hawksmoor's stunning St George in the East.

I'll defintely be going. There's a bike propped against the counter in the picture so presumably they don't mind that, if parking it elsewhere is a problem. The only difficulty I have is how to pronounce the name. The original is routinely referred to as Elemenaitch, so maybe the new non-majuscule incarnation is lumnuhuh.

I live round the corner. Thought it would be nice to visit whe i first saw it but there's FA to interest me now. There's no new bike parking unfortunately, so you'll have to risk it next to the mopeds and their rack. 

If any of you feel like dropping in, there's a decent pub just over the road. 

Wow. No bikes? Sellouts. 

Looks like a nice place.

But don't get me wrong. I'm outraged.

LMNH old street is a really cool place. Really good coffee, decent food, beer (all London prices, but not extortionate) and lots of cycling related stuff in there. The workshop is really good too, pretty cheap and they'll try to sort you out asap If you're in a rush like a proper LBS.

the Whitechapel place according to my friends who visited it the other day doesn't even have bike parking...pretty rules it out as a bike cafe in my opinion

So F.A. to do with bikes. Just a nice free advertorial for another gentrifing, expensive, hipster hang-out in Whitechapel.
