Photo: Lmnh!īut Lmnh! represented more than an industry trend. Lmnh! screened all the big bike races way before GCN made live streams so accessible. Hailed as one of the first bike-centric coffeebars in the world, “Look Mum” soon became an inspiration for entrepreneurial bike geeks from the U.S.
What Lmnh! started 13 years ago – at a time when a “flat white” needed explanation and avocado-toast seemed exotic – cafés copy-pasted for the following decade. Opened in 2010 – perfectly positioned at the start of Britain’s Olympic-Wiggins-inspired bike boom – it was at the vanguard of the café-workshop craze that soon swept the globe. Look Mum No Hands! influenced a lot more than just those that visited for its punchy flat whites, robust signature pies, and brilliant bike servicing. “Like everyone in hospitality, the past three years have been very difficult for us and although we did our best to survive, we’ve come to the end of our time on Old Street,” read a statement Wednesday from the Lmnh! founders. Whether it was pre-ride coffee, post-race beers, or an alternative night out, Lmnh! had your back.įor me and thousands more, it was a social center and daily ritual, a ground-breaking multi-purpose venue that became a home-for-home.īut as the proverb goes, all good things come to an end. Located down a grubby high street between the hipster enclave of Shoreditch and the creative hub of Farringdon, the iconic Old Street venue came to be a lot more than just a café and workshop. Look Mum No Hands! may be gone, but it will never be forgotten.
