Top 30 Best Historic coffee shop in London

“Stayed here with my girlfriend a few weeks ago. Wasn’t expecting much more than a bed to sleep. The manager with a big beard, can’t remember his name (I think it begins with a K) was an absolute gent. Helped me with our bags, the parking and gave use great recommendations for places to have fun whilst we were in Kingston. Just because of his demeanour and attitude I would most definitely go back. Absolutely brilliant customer service from him!”

“Beautiful designer interior, also offers areas to work with your laptop. Plenty of plugs and fast WiFi (there is a small charger for this). Wonderful option for the nomadic worker. Also has good food and drinks, beers, coffee, etc. All available. Good options for snacks and meals too Staff are very friendly and helpful. Seating available outside. Fabulous views up on the top floor of the Tower of London and the Thames Happily spend the whole day working from here and have done often”

“Whilst staying in Abbey Wood happened upon this delightful small oasis in the park, however the star of the show has to be Charlie who was friendly, engaging and even changed some food when he realised it wasn’t to our liking . In this fast moving world we live in, it’s refreshing to be able to find a place of Tranquility with good old-fashioned manners and more importantly service with a smile. Thank you Charlie, we were the people with the toast”

“My most favourite place to have lunch in Bexley! Great fresh food, the staff and owner are always so friendly and lovely. Never had a bad lunch here.”

“Great vibes! Friendly staff, homely/cosy feel and a calm atmosphere. My new go to. Oh, and 10/10 pain au raisins!”

“Outstanding coffee and outstanding staff! Best in the area for sure! I started coming here more regularly while working from home and it's certainly been one of the biggest positives of lockdown. Andrés has certainly made lockdown more cheerful and I always really look forward to his coffee and energy. It feels like a treat everytime!”

“Lovely immaculate venue. Very nice hot chocolate, not sweet at all. Pricing very cheap for the area. Toilets very clean. Nice working environment. Highly recommended”

“This place was great! Authentic German restaurant with nice outlook over the river. Wait staff dressed accordingly and everyone was very welcoming. It’s very meat based (as would be expected) but they have some veggie/vegan options which my friends enjoyed. I had sausages, mash and sauerkraut which was yum! And of course all the beer and wine is German too. Recommend booking ahead as it gets busy - but we were luckily able to get a walk-in on a Saturday night. We were in the smoking area outside but no one was actually smoking. Tables are big and good for groups. Will be back!”

“A small Italian based Restaurant that provides good food at reasonable prices. It started small but they have expanded over the years. The restaurant provides two menus, specials of the day and a set menu. You cannot go wrong with either one. They can cater for small and medium groups if you make reservations. An outdoor area is available when the weather is nice. This restaurant is good value for money and will not break the bank. A light dinner for two cost me under £40 pounds. Staff are friendly and accomodating.”

“Great little cafe! A real hidden gem in Pinner....The owner is nice and friendly. He does a very delicious home made lentil soup which I always go for nearly every day!! All his other food that he serves is very tasty as well, the Turkish omelette, he does lovely jacket potatoes as well as good English fry up!! The prices are very reasonable and quality of food is excellent! Make sure you get there early as it gets very busy especially at lunchtimes...Would highly recommend!”

“Really good place, Staff super friendly and food excellent. Went old school and had a fish finger baguette which was lovely. Throughly recommend and will be my go to cafe now.”

“Mum and I had a lovely morning here catching up on work and consuming multiple flat whites (we only had the intention of one but they were so good we couldn't resist a second) and having lovely conversations with the sweet and funny barista Sarah, who made us feel so welcome - I'll definitely be making a regular trip back when Sarah is working! I love the Brockley Elsewhere for the food but the Herne Hill one has such nice ambience and staff, so its a shame they don't do the food too!”

“This is literally the best cafe I've ever eaten from! The bubble is so fresh and tasty! The eggs don't have no runny white what so ever! Just an all round 5 star cafe and the staff are soo friendly!”

“I held our office summer party here and everything was fantastic, exceeded expectations even. The staff were so friendly and helpful from start to finish. Helping me with the setup and throughout the evening. The venue itself is just great, everyone loved it.”

“Really welcoming cafe offering a selection of delicious homemade cakes and lunch menu. The presentation is always of great quality. The staff are absolutely lovely.”

“Most delicious quiches and salad and soups in beautiful Italian terrains . Its worh a pot of tea. I got 3 cups from the pot”

“While the place is quite small I think that it’s part of its charm and adds to the calm atmosphere of the cafe. The coffee itself was brewed to perfection and the aesthetic speaks for itself!”

“Really nice coffee shop. The coffee is absolutely top end. The flat white has lots of volume and is tasty. The service is quick and it has a nice ambience but can get noisy when busy but it’s a great place to be.”

“The Ramadan Lights located right off of the Piccadilly Circus, in the London Theatre district was amazing to see, feel the vibe and experience the proud Ramadan moment with my son. This was the very first time for London to decorate one of the most visited districts with Ramadan Lights. Loved it and hoping other major cities around the world would follow what London did and honor their Muslim citizens, which they deserve to be recognized and honored as Ramadan is one of the major, if not the most, celebrations in Islamic culture all around the world for 14 centuries. My son loved the vibe so he visited the same place twice two nights in a row :)”

“Great breakfast at Wednesday 5 August 2020 just when I was really needing it having been travelling from Northern Ireland since 5am by plane then train to a meeting in Enfield. The guys were really friendly and helpful. The cafe was clean and tidy. Ate my fry outside on the footpath at wee table provided. A good start to my day. Thanks guys . One downside....need to get some marmalade in for the toast!!”

“Very reasonable priced cosy café in Greenwich. Absolutely loved their brownie, tea and music. Such a relaxing place. Sat there for hours :)”

“Had long drive from Wigan North West yesterday. Really am now becoming as rusty long distance driver . Before I did think of visit to Carlisle as usual before crossing to Scotland well back to London. Am feel rusty waking up this morning”

“Best coffee I have ever had! The taste was awesome and hot enough as I was expecting. If you're looking for breakfast and coffee with decent price then this place is highly recommended, I feel like it gives value to my spend on my coffee!”

“Absolutely delightful place to visit, friendly and attentive welcoming and relaxing, and that's without the teas, coffee's and cake....”
