Raj Beadle reflects on the history of Gaggia in Soho, marking 75 years since its establishment.
I went to Soho to see where it all started. Gaggia arrived in Soho in 1950 and opened its Showroom and service centre at 10 Dean Street. The building still stands and is now home to Pizza Expree restaurant on the ground floor and the world-renowned Pizza Express Jazz Club in the basement. listen to my reflections about the birthplace of espresso in the UK and how the story continues after 75 years.
