The cafe in Foyle's? But I don't know when the quiet times are or even if there are any.

See Foyles Cafe used to be fairly quiet but now in the nu-Foyles not so much. Depends at what time/day but its still pretty good.

the Delaunay Counter on the Aldwych is a good bet IMO- not quite Soho but near enough...

foyles is definitely not quiet!
ended up going to a caffe nero that looked fairly empty, minute i started the interview the entire world piled in and started yelling at each other and the coffee machines started drilling away non-stop, the minute i stopped everyone left. fuck cafés imo
