The number and variety of independent cafes in London hasflourished
in recent years and if London never had a cafe culture a few
decadesago, it certainly does now! The quality and variety of food
and drink on offer hasalso improved beyond recognition in the last
few decades, with many cafes' nowserving food that's
indistinguishable from a quality restaurant - except when it come
tothe bill - which is invariably much lower. In fact if you want to
eat a greatlunch (and increasingly dinner too) in London and don't
want to pay a fortune,a cafe is your best bet. Coffee sales in
Britain have expanded rapidly in the lastdecade, along with the
growing number of independent (and chain) coffee shops.
Britain'slove affair with the bean has gone, quite literally, from
strength to strength;not so many years ago it was difficult to find
a cafe serving anything butinsipid filter coffee, but now fresh
bean-powered brews are everywhere, thanksin huge part to a legion
of expat baristas and roasters from Down Under. The British are
famous for their love of a good cuppa(tea) - which, as every Brit
knows, cures all ills - although nowadays it's justas likely to be
a delicate white, energising green, aromatic and complexOolong, or
a mysterious aged Puer, as builder's brew. London has an
abundanceof specialist tearooms - many with expert 'tearistas' (tea
baristas) on hand toadvise you - where you can enjoy fine teas in a
delightful traditional setting. Tea is also a vital component of
the quintessentially Englishdiversion of afternoon tea, with
London's premier hotels - plus manyrestaurants, cafes and tearooms
- vying to produce the most lavish and originalafternoon tea,
consisting of exquisite teas and divine cakes, pastries
andsavouries - and optional champagne. If there's one meal that the
British can claim their own,it's the great British cooked
breakfast, which is world-famous. Thistraditionally takes the form
a huge fry-up - the full English - but nowadaysit's just as likely
to include a wealth of tasty and original dishes withinfluences
from around the globe. Likewise brunch - a combination of
breakfastand lunch - which Londoners have taken to with a passion
in recent years.Nowadays many top restaurants, hotels and cafes
specialise in brunch,particularly at weekends. With a copy of
London'sCafes, Coffee Shops & Tearooms - featuring over 250
venues - you'llnever be lost for somewhere to enjoy a great cup of
coffee or tea and somedelicious food. We hope you enjoy discovering
the city's burgeoning cafeculture as much as we did.
