7 COFFEE SHOPS · ONE PART OF LONDON
Independent coffee
in South East London.
From Borough Market to Peckham, this selection connects coffee shopping, market visits and neighbourhood cafés. Monmouth has distinct Borough and Bermondsey addresses; Old Spike brings its roasting and social-enterprise work to several south London shops. Further out, Brockley and Rye Lane offer different reasons to make an earlier coffee stop.
MAKE A MORNING OF IT
A little local direction.
Try Borough for a market-day coffee, Peckham for Old Spike and Ukkei, or Brockley for a morning on Coulgate Street. Southwark and Elephant & Castle give you alternatives closer to central London.
GOOD TO KNOW
Browns publishes an early closing time, Ukkei opens later in the week and Monmouth lists Sunday closures. Follow the official links when planning.
