Voices: Gail’s has done far worse than tamper with a grade II-listed building – trust me There are so many better, more interesting places to buy your morning cup of coffee.
It became a ritual to look forward to: arrive at Oxford Circus 20 minutes earlier than I needed to, pop into the tiny cafe where the staff quickly learned my name, knock back a £3 flat white, and head into the office.
Earlier this week, residents in Lewes expressed outrage after Gail’s replaced the oak doors from a grade II-listed building to set up its new branch.
Like how it played jazz music or how staff served my coffee on a wooden platter with a small glass of water.
But Gail’s isn’t just ruining my coffee ritual, it’s also ruining a historic building.
