The London Lark
Late-Night Lark · Opposite Liverpool Street Station

Polo Bar – 24 Hour Great British Café & Bar

Greasy joy and all-hours comfort across from the station lights.

Across from Liverpool Street, Polo Bar has been pouring coffee and frying breakfasts through the small hours for decades. Open 24/7, it's not a quiet library – more a glowing window onto the city's insomniac life – but if you claim a booth, order tea and open your notebook, it becomes a strange, cinematic study spot: words flowing as taxis unload, club kids drift past, and the station clocks creep towards dawn.

There's a version of the Lark who could tell you what to do before this, and where to go after. She plans evenings around feelings, not postcodes.
