An everyday scene of a crowded small café, viewed from the interior, looking down the café counter towards a window. A woman in overalls stands behind the counter wiping crockery. In the foreground, two customers stand in front of the counter, a man with a cup of tea, another reading a newspaper. There is a glass cabinet on top of the counter containing cakes. More customers can be seen in the background through the archway and out of the window, a street is just visible. The figures depicted are: (from left) the cafe proprietor's daughter, Geoffrey Tibble (seen through counter case), Victor Pasmore, Claude Rogers, Igor Anrep, and William Coldstream.
