The lazy afternoon is the most enjoyable time for the British. Have a cup of mellow coffee, turn over a few pages, and quietly enjoy a beautiful afternoon. Britain is one of the largest coffee consumers in the world.

The British are now hopelessly crazy about coffee. In addition to Starbucks and Costa, there are countless boutique independent coffee shops on the streets of London, perhaps in the crowded Soho district or in East London full of new ideas.

In this issue, the editor carefully selected 10 tall independent cafes for you. Whether you are a coffee enthusiast or occasionally need the stimulation of caffeine, you can experience the smell of coffee on the tip of your tongue!

Since its inception in 2009, the Kaffeine Cafe, run by Australian Peter Dore-Smith, has been regarded as one of the most powerful independent cafes in London. Kaffeine Cafe focuses on providing guests with the most comprehensive user experience, and both coffee lovers and ordinary lunch guests love it, so it's no wonder they got a full 5 out of 5 in the overall score. Although the storefront is not very large, Kaffeine's investment in details is impeccable, attracting a large number of loyal fans. Kaffeine, which has always been popular, is not expanding fast, and the only branch opened not long ago.

TAP Coffee is called an independent coffee shop with a good attitude.
