Fischer's Marylebone is a Viennese café whose made-up backstory, big clock and terrazzo floor make the room the reason to visit.

Built in 1912 as a bookshop and still doing the job. The oak galleries, the skylight, the stained-glass window, why the books are shelved by country, and how the man who opened it in 1990 ended up running Waterstones and Barnes & Noble.
