The Poetry Cafe

Hidden on one of Covent Garden's lesser-known streets, the Poetry Café (The Poetry Place) welcomes everyone, not only poets and poetry enthusiasts.

At lunchtime their superb cooks serve delicious vegetarian cuisine, and coffee and pastries are available throughout the afternoon. In the evening the atmosphere is busy and vibrant; they have poetry readings almost every night.

Some of the events take place every week, some monthly or bi-monthly and some are occasional or one-off. For newcomers, or those wishing to read, Poetry Unplugged is London's premier open mic session where people who have never read a poem in public can do so for the first time, or experienced poets can try out something new.
