About PAUL UK
PAUL began as a small family bakery in Lille, France, and has grown into a global name in traditional French baking. Since arriving in the UK in 2000, we’ve built our reputation as the world’s local French bakery. Our people are the heart of our success—and we’d love you to be part of our story.
The PAUL Bakery Café in South Kensington is located at 47 Thurloe Street, close to South Kensington Station and just around the corner from the Lycée Français and the Institut Français. So we have not only English but many French customers coming to PAUL for their freshly baked daily bread, fresh viennoiseries, patisseries and cakes, as well as lunchtime sandwiches or croques, salads and soups, or just to chat over coffee or tea and an éclair or macaroon. We are also very conveniently located for all the world famous South Kensington Museums: the Victoria Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, not to mention the Royal Albert Hall just at the other end of Exhibition Road. The Royal College of Art and the Royal College of Music are both nearby, along with Imperial College. Closest station is South Kensington (Piccadilly Line, Circle Line, District Line)
