8 COFFEE SHOPS · ONE PART OF LONDON
Independent coffee
in East London.
East London gives you several different coffee days: a Broadway Market wander, a stop at a working Homerton roastery or a bakery breakfast near Victoria Park. This selection stretches from Spitalfields to Leyton, so choose a neighbourhood first rather than trying to cover it all in one morning.
MAKE A MORNING OF IT
A little local direction.
For a compact start, pair the Broadway Market café with a walk around London Fields and a bakery stop on Richmond Road. De Beauvoir, Homerton and Leyton work better as separate outings.
GOOD TO KNOW
Dark Arts’ Homerton bar is a takeaway stop, while Climpson’s HQ and roastery are appointment-only. Use the café addresses in the listings.
