Welcome to Café X, your new one-stop shop for hot lunches, grab-and-go snacks, healthy treats and - of course - fresh barista coffee right in the heart of the White City Professional Services Hub.

There's only one problem with Café X - it hasn't got a name yet! 

Our newest spot has been thoughtfully planned to reflect exactly what you would want and need from a café right there in your office. So we thought, what better way to name it than to let you choose?

We're calling for ideas along themes of nature and the natural world. Plus, if your name is chosen, we’re offering a grand prize of free coffee for a year to the winning submission! Find out more and submit below.

Naming your newest café

Taking inspiration from the Property Division's Naming Imperial Places campaign, we're calling on all of the new inhabitants of the White City Hub to submit suggestions for the name of your new café, with the following criteria in mind:

Themes:

We want our new outlet to reflect Imperial and it's ethos. When we thought about the intersection between science and food, the overlap seemed obvious - nature! 

We'd love you to think of a name that reflects this in some way - whether this draws from the natural world, from plants, from food, from natural sciences - be creative!

But of course, bear in mind that we're talking about food here so veering down the road of bacteria might not be the most appealing.

Length:

Keep it snappy! We're looking for a one or two word name. We'll keep 'café' in the name, so think of something that would work as 'café x' or 'x café'.

Tell us about it:

You're welcome to just submit a name, but if there's a particular story about it, or an explanation as to why you think it's important or interesting - let us know that too!

Submit below or drop a suggestion in the box at the café itself. We look forward to reading your ideas!
