Coffee Shops

It may seem odd dedicating part of a tourism site to coffee but I truly believe that it is one of the things London does best! This is thanks to a lot of influence from Australia and New Zealand.

There are coffee shops absolutely everywhere in London so this is far from an exhaustive list but I’m only including only places I’ve actually been to and can recommend.
