Central Perk opens in London



To celebrate 15 years since Friends started (and presumably so sell some related merchandise/dvds) Warner Brothers have set up a replica of the Central Perk coffee shop from the show. It opens today and sells real coffee, located at 67, Broadwick Street at the end of Carnaby Street, it's an interesting promotional device, to deliver a tangible experience from something that we normally only see as an image on our tv sets. Sure to be a hit with 20/30 somethings everywhere, even if Friends has now become a round-the-clock staple of digital tv, once described quite accurately by someone as 'televisual mashed potato' – bland, but comforting and reliable.
