A Spitfire, foreground, a Harrier, background, and a V1 flying bomb bottom right of frame, hang from the ceiling in the atrium of the Imperial War Museum London. The museum produced a video in 2014 to show how they got the Harrier into the building and suspended it for exhibition.

London, England, U.K.

A neat name for a coffee shop. Department of Coffee and Social Affairs appears to be a small chain of socially responsible coffee shops, mainly located in London, with outposts in Manchester, Bristol and … Chicago. Came across this outlet in The City, London’s financial district.
