Pophams Bakery - Islington

Hi! I am a former coffee shop founder, so coffee is my passion. This is the list of my favourite coffee shops and bakeries in London.

London has this way of wrapping you up in its energy while giving you just enough space to breathe. It’s like catching up with an old friend who’s full of stories and always up for a spontaneous adventure. The city pulses with life, but somehow, you can still find those little pockets of calm when you need them. There’s something magical about London’s rhythm—it’s a blend of constant motion and relaxed charm. Every street corner seems to have its own little story, and the people are as varied and fascinating as the city itself. It’s the kind of place where you can dive into the buzz or find a quiet moment to just be, depending on what you’re craving. London feels like a city that’s always in tune with you, offering up new experiences while making you feel like you’re right where you belong.

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of London! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things London for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of: ☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries 🌮 Local cuisine 🏛️ Museums of all kinds 🌳 Gardens & parks 🛏️ Boutique hotels 🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!
