Photo feature on the New Piccadilly Cafe, Denman Street, Piccadilly, London, a traditional café under threat The New Piccadilly Café, 8 Denman Street, Piccadilly, LondonReport by urban75 editor, 25th Jan 2005 (***PLEASE NOTE: The cafe closed in December 2007). Nestling behind the tourist highway of Piccadilly Circus is this charming, traditional café, famed for its 1950s decor and formica clad interior Little has altered in this much-loved Soho institution since it first opened its doors half a century ago - including the menu! New Piccadilly café sign It's almost certain that this long-serving sign will soon disappear from Denman Street. The redevelopment of the area has already been agreed by Westminster Council - and if that doesn't happen, a scheduled rent review in autumn 2005 will no doubt bring forth a huge hike in rent prices and force the owner, Lorenzo Marioni, to sell up. Illuminated café sign, New Piccadilly café Still sporting its original 1950s sign, the café frontage makes a welcome change from the tacky plastic exteriors and gawdy awnings plastered all around the West End.

The hill is horribly steep and injuries to racers are common. The 2010 and 2011 events were cancelled, but people ran down the hill anyway! Last year they had to chase a big round piece of foam down the hill, because the poor old lady who usually makes the cheese was threatened with prosecution! This year (2014) the Dutch are helping out by bringing a great big Gouda, and a few smaller ones.
