The London Coffee Guide 2019 has finally arrived, hot off the press and ready to help you find your next caffeine hit.

Year after year, we endeavour to bring you the crème de la crème of London’s leading independent coffee shops, cafés and roasteries. We’re here to spill the (coffee) beans on the latest and greatest places to get that all-important coffee boost. Whether you’re searching for a morning flat white, a lunchtime long black, or an afternoon espresso, we’ve got plenty of top notch recommendations to keep you caffeinated.

With 33 new venues added to this 2019 edition, we now feature a total of 270 profiles in the guide. Look out for our ‘New and Noteworthy’ profiles dotted throughout the guide – these are venues we believe are exciting, must-visit new additions to London’s flourishing speciality coffee scene.

The 5th Wave of coffee has become well and truly established in London, with independent specialists adopting a boutique-at-scale approach to coffee and opening multiple sites with their winning recipe for success, whilst still retaining their unique character and high quality.

Allegra is an established leader in consumer and business intelligence for the coffee industry in the UK and Europe. We have drawn upon this research as well as experts in the field to compile this ninth edition.

We hope you enjoy it!
