Step into the Scooter Caffè and revel in the seductive ambience of the jazzy continental bar within. Travelling Through is a bookshop with a heart and soul that aims to connect people through its ‘culture hub’ and art space. The downstairs offers a calming place to enjoy a coffee, slice of cake and look at the art or read a book.

The cool and jazzy My Place (their paninis are delicious).

Hej Coffee is a welcome bolt-hole from the over-concreted Bermondsey Square. The coffee and the food are excellent at Hej (order the ‘viking balls’, a WDC favourite), which brilliantly crams its space with scandi decor. This includes the very Swedish sculpture-in-residence Eric the Moose.
Bermondsey Square
The Nordic Backery, a peaceful Soho Scandi-coffee shop on New Cavendish Street. The choice of food and drink is only slightly more varied than their slogan: ‘dark rye bread, cinnamon buns, coffee’, but then all you really want is one of their amazing cinnamon buns anyway.
New Cavendish Street
I Love Nata is a case in point. It sells two products: coffee and nata (the celebrated Portuguese tarts). Check out Dad’s pastel de nata recipe here, but anyone on a mission to find one of the best in town needn’t go further than this shop — they’ve got the best nata outside of Portugal.
Endell St
The Watch House is a favourite and sells luxury artisan coffee and food in its converted guardhouse.

Monmouth Coffee has become a legend on the London coffee scene, with a great range of blends for the winter months. Try the Gititu from Kenya for its rich seasonal taste – it has a hint of cherries, citrus, sweet caramel and cloves.
Spa Terminus
Love & Scandal was recently voted London’s most-loved café in Time Out Love London Awards – it attracts a motley crowd in its unfinished-ply interior.

Bask in the deliciousness of the Swedish bakery Fabrique for a traditional fika (coffee break) with a cardamom bun – how cardamom ended up in something so Swedish is a mystery, but the taste is a revelation. The bread is good too.
