Police found video files of a number of people using the toilet, but believe they have not been viewed by anyone else but them.
They released the picture of man they think installed the camera and are asking for help in tracking him down.
The image shows the man, wearing a black coat and a red and green scarf, reaching up to the camera above the cubicle.
A Met Police spokesman said: ‘The small device was hidden in a grate in the ceiling in the only customer toilet at the coffee shop.
‘Police believe that the camera had been installed for a maximum of 3-4 weeks and believed that it was installed for the purpose of voyeurism.
‘No arrests have been made. Enquiries are ongoing.’
