One of the best options for a break from sightseeing in this part of London. 

Wesley's Cafe is conveniently located next to Westminster Abbey, in the basement of the Methodist Center. 

I ordered desserts and coffee, but Wesley's Cafe also offers a variety of other dishes. 

The cafe provides essential amenities like free WiFi and toilets, with payments accepted exclusively through cards. 

Seating available both outdoors and indoors

Limited and pricey food options that are just okay but the little patio in front with Westminster view makes it worth it!!

As a Methodist who has eaten her fair share of potluck food in the basement of churches, I was intrigued by the idea of an actual cafe in a church basement. This was steps from Westminster Abbey and a little bit hidden. We did manage to find it though, and we're glad we did! Good food, cafeteria-style. Nice little respite from the crowds at ground level. The prices are beyond reasonable, especially for a heavily touristed location. Check it out!

If you had told me that I was going to have lunch in a church cafeteria while visiting London, I would have told you that you were crazy. Somehow, searching for affordable food options around Westminster Abbey led me here, across the street in the basement of the Methodist church. Take the elevator down to the basement and you will find an open yet cozy cafe that has plenty of seating for parties of all sizes (8 for us) and boasts homemade fare. Lunch today was a delicious chicken and leek pie and sides, but there were vegetarian options too! Their veggie chili and French onion soup were both flavorful and hearty, not to mention completely affordable! 2 entrees with sides for $9 in the heart of London?? You bet! There is also a coffee bar that has award winning coffee! A great find on a chilly day of sightseeing!

Welcome little cafe next to the Methodist Centre. Great for a quick refreshment and one of the few places open.

What great value!  Food is fresh, fast and delicious.  Super reasonable prices.  Had a vegan lentil quinoa stew which came with a delicious bread roll.  Also got a soft cooked egg on spinach hummus with herbs and sunflower seeds.  They were both excellent and unexpected.  I'm no vegetarian and I ate very well.  This meal for two was under £20 (we each got the same thing).  Lots of seating.  Bright decor.  Nice people.

This place is a real gem for travelers on a budget! Located a few hundred feet from the Abbey in a basement, this nondescript cafeteria offers ample seating and excellent, reasonably priced healthy British food. Today's menu included a delicious pork chop in mushroom cream sauce, steamed salmon and spinach, Thai curry, and a vegetarian option. They also offer sandwiches, pastries, and coffee/tea. 

Most customers appeared to be locals or nearby employees- we were the only tourists there! I would definitely eat here again.

Stopped by here after a tour of London to grab a quick bite to eat. The staff here are all very nice and welcoming. Prices are good, though the food is rather standard cafeteria options and the supposed free wifi wasn't working while I was here. I liked and recommend the soup.

Sign says "knowing what's in your food is important. Ask ...".  But the answer is "there's no guarantee. The food comes from outside. Maybe....". A very detached staff and only pre-made food.

This is a cafeteria in the basement of a church. There is a little sign across the road from the main entrance of Westminster Abbey to cue you in. Ambience is a church cafeteria. It has several set menus for the day--huge portions. Meat and vegetarian options as well as a small salad bar. The curry was great, but the fish just tolerable. The heaping vegetable side options made up the deficit. Free wifi is a bonus. Much cheaper and faster than a tourist eatery in the area.
