A few streets behind the hulk of the Tate Modern stands an unassuming British caff called The Table. Seemingly tucked away on the ground floor under the weight of the modern glass-and-steel block overhead, The Table is a weekend beacon of light in an otherwise deserted sea of office space in Southwark. Even though we’re just seconds away from one of London’s biggest art galleries, the roads we’re wandering through on this …

I always went for the English-speaking types — I wouldn’t dare to make a fool of myself so early on. It was already going to be …
