brief title

Five customers are seated in the window of the Manhattan Coffee Company on Shaftesbury Avenue, in London's Chinatown. 3 of the 5 are of Chinese ethnicity, one is talking on a mobile phone and the other two seem to be girlfriends. To their left is a man in deep thought but in front of every person there are red beakers. It is a successful shop with plenty of customers. The interior lighting is orange and red, making a cosy and welcoming atmosphere and two large signs in English indicate there are 30 more seats downstairs allowing more to spend their money and for more business to be made.
