Named after the old hansom cabs (horse-drawn carriages) that once waited in this very place to pick up distinguished guests of the hotel, this elegant cafe occupies the reception area of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. The setting is marvellous (brick walls, glass ceilings and glorious blue steel beams) and makes the perfect place for tea and pastry.
