McDonald’s

Für unseren Frühstückssnack & Kaffee zog es uns in einen McDonalds am Piccadilly Circus. Das britische Frühstück mit Baked beans und Co. ist nicht so meins, das man an jeder Ecke bekommt, so haben wir uns einen Frühstückswrap gegönnt. Der war echt lecker für fast food und könnte auch gern ins deutsche Angebot aufgenommen werden. Kaffee to go zu dem Preis ebenfalls absolut i.O., wenn das Budget nicht ausufern soll in London. ;)
Leider gab’s hier auch keine bis kaum Sitzplätze, aber direkt am Piccadilly Circus auf den Stufen zu frühstücken und dem Londoner Treiben zuzuschauen, hat auch etwas für sich… :)

Not good at all — one if the worthiest MC we have ever been. Probably the one in New York was similar. Very tight place to make the order, bad restrooms. But, you can have some rest there while waking in the center of London.

Ich möchte nicht mehr Worte verlieren, als unbedingt notwendig sind — daher möchte ich es an dieser Stelle recht plakativ, aber absolut zutreffend in Schlagworten formulieren:
Dreckig, schmuddlig, stickig, eng, laut!!!

as others said no restrooms, limited seating and we were divebombed by a pigeon. staff were quick to serve and friendly. Though was suprised for long wait for happy meal.
best for eating on the hoof or elsewhere.

McDonalds can be found on your way out to Waterloo Road or shall I say, the uglier side of Waterloo Station. This branch can be quite evil for folks working in the area as they now accept credit and debit cards which will sway your more easily should you be undecided. There are a few sandwich shops in the area but let’s face it, if it is gloomy outside we tend to want warm food and when McDonalds glare at you, you can’t help but give in.
Speaking of gloomy and cold, don’t sit down to eat there unless you really have to because even though they’ve got heaters it still does not make it feel all warm and fuzzy. The building can be quite cold and you won’t enjoy it properly.
There is almost always a queue there but I have to admit, they do work it down quite quickly and the staff can be friendly at times, depending on how stressed they are. The cleaner always work double time at lunch hours to keep the place running smoothly.
Oh by the way, there is a Barclays cash point around the corner if you wanted to pay by cash instead of using your card.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you must be familiar with McDonald’s. The epitome of fast food restaurants — the one people think of when fast food is mentioned. They can be found in nearly every town centre, and every train station. And, as it happens, it’s on in a train station I’m talking about here.
If you go down the escalators from Waterloo Station towards the Jubilee Line, you’ll find this ever so petite branch of McDonalds. With very little seating, and completely open plan, this is more a place to grab a very quick bite, perhaps even taking your food onto your train, rather than somewhere to bring the kiddies. There are no toilets (you need to pay 30p on Waterloo Station’s concourse for that privilege), no play area and few seats. There is a counter with around five tills (so even when there is a queue, there is very rarely a wait), and behind you a little area where you can pick up napkins and utensils.
Unlike Burger King upstairs, all the menu items are shown and priced (although the meal deals are given considerably more prominence than the 89p burger). McDonald’s is cheaper than the Burger King upstairs, especially for basic items.
I certainly wouldn’t want to eat at McDonald’s regularly. However, once in a while, if I’ve been in town lateish and so have skipped dinner, I’ll pop down here for a quick and dirty cheeseburger. For that it is more than adequate.
