The Wet Fish Café is an Art Deco classic at 242 West End Lane.

In 1917, the building was occupied by Cecil Jones Fishmongers and it stayed in the Jones family until 1957 when another fishmonger, R Rowe and Son took over until closing in 1989.

It is now one of the highlights in the vibrant restaurant scene in West Hampstead.
