London, the capital of the UK, is one of the world’s leading cities where history and modern culture intersect.
Though long known as a nation of tea drinkers, coffee culture has rapidly expanded here over the past 20 years, and today London is recognized as one of Europe’s foremost specialty coffee cities.
With its diverse immigrant background, the city—particularly East London—has seen a rise in independent roasters and cafés, creating a coffee scene rich in regional character.
Much like the pub culture, cafés have also become “community hubs,” where work, conversation, and art come together.
