City workers in the Fenchurch Street area seeking their morning coffee and croissant fix will have a little further to go today.

Police are investigating after a car smashed through the front of the Pret a Manger branch in Cullum Street last night, putting the store out of action. A Pret spokesperson said the company is helping the police with their investigation.

Canada Police said they were called at 1.25am to reports of a car that had driven into the shop front of Pret a Manger on Cullum Street, but said no arrests had been made.

A repairman working at the site of the incident this morning said someone had "accidentally" driven into the sandwich shop. A blue Ford was left lodged backwards through the front window of the branch in the early hours of Friday morning.
