Between large and small cafes, classic and contemporary, here are the 5 best cafes and coffee shops in the English capital, London.
Monmouth Coffee
We started roasting and retailing coffee in 1978. At the beginning we roasted in the basement of our shop on Monmouth Street, Covent Garden, using rather old‑fashioned, direct-flame machines, first a small UNO and then a 1930s Whitmee. Almost thirty years later in 2007, having opened another shop in Borough Market and outgrown our basement in Covent Garden, we moved into three converted railway arches in Bermondsey. And now after ten years, we have moved our roasting site again, just a little further east to Spa Terminus in Bermondsey where we have converted five arches into a roasting, tasting and office space. In the new roastery we have installed two roasters from Loring in California, USA. Loring roasters combine air roasting technology with energy efficient design.
