Cafe Chaiwala Tooting by Arshad Khan

Few cafés keep hours quite this generous — from 8am until midnight, stretching to 1am on Fridays and Saturdays — and it's this late-night availability that makes the Tooting spot, with Arshad Khan's name over the door, such a useful neighbourhood option. The chaiwala name gives a fair hint at what to order, and a 4.8 rating from 677 reviews suggests plenty of people order exactly that. Dine in, take away or opt for delivery — either way, wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating keep it open to all.
