The Best Independent Coffee Shops in London
Discover the finest caffeine spots in the city, from espresso bars to leisurely afternoon lattes.
With climate change and supply issues affecting the global coffee market, bean prices are near an all-time high. This has led to chain closures, including Costa Coffee and potential closures of some of Starbucks' 520 UK stores.
However, London has seen a surge in independent coffee shops. These unique spots are worth visiting for your morning caffeine fix. For example, Omotesando Koffee in Fitzrovia steepes cold brew coffees for 12 hours, while Batch Baby in De Beauvoir offers a cozy living-room-meets-café atmosphere with vintage furniture and houseplants.
