Who would have thought the very first Lab News office in Fleet Street would now be a Mexican eatery?
Since the magazine is celebrating it’s 40th birthday I’ve been doing a bit of research into it’s history – our first office was in Fleet Street; number 142 to be exact. We thought it might be fun to have a poke around there now – a quick search and we reveal it’s now a Mexican – Chilangos. Well, it was only right that we all went for lunch!
I was a bit concerned I might need my sunglasses – images we’d sourced showed lots of lime green and bright pinks, but the place was actually really nice. Its sort of set up like a Subway – you pick what you want and go along the counter while they add what you want. But you can eat in – there are a few benches, so we sat down and tucked in.
I’ve not really ventured into Mexican much – fajitas are about as much as I’ve tried but I went for a burrito…so tasty! Chickens, rice, peppers, tomatoes and cheese…so good.
Prices were fairly expensive – but that could just be the fact we were in Central London. It was well worth the £6ish, and it struck me that something like this would do really well in Croydon!
Well worth a visit if you’re in Central London, but check their website for opening times. They’ve also got a place in Bluewater, so another good spot for a quick lunch!
