MAKE A MORNING OF IT
Choose Kapihan’s number 138 if lunch matters, number 547 for an early coffee, St John’s Hill for coffee and bakes, or Story Wandsworth for brunch until 3pm.
GOOD TO KNOW
Story Wandsworth is screen-free with no Wi-Fi. Both Kapihan cafés are on Battersea Park Road but have different postcodes, so check the street number.

GOOD TO KNOW
We list 4 independent coffee shops in Battersea & Wandsworth: Story Coffee (St John’s Hill), Story Coffee (Wandsworth), Kapihan (547 Battersea Park Road) and Kapihan (Big Kubo — 138 Battersea Park Road).

Story Coffee (St John’s Hill) and Story Coffee (Wandsworth) belong to coffee roasters. The roasting does not always happen at the café, so check the listing if you want to visit a working roastery.
For something to eat with your coffee, try Story Coffee and Kapihan. Kitchen hours can end before the café closes, so check the shop’s own menu first.
