MORE THAN ONE SHOP. STILL INDEPENDENT.
Independent coffee chains
in London.
Some of London’s independent coffee businesses run two, three or more shops. Branches of the same group can still offer quite different visits: a brunch menu at one, weekday-only hours at another. Pick a group to compare its branches side by side.

What counts as independent here?
We include specialist coffee businesses outside the large high-street chains: not owned by a listed company or a major coffee chain, and small enough that each shop keeps its own character. It is an editorial category, not an audit of ownership or funding. Read more in our guide to small independent coffee groups and how we choose.
