London: Destination Guide | a road to England

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.

Coffee shops 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.

London Calling

Having lived in North East London for 2 years, eating my way around the cute independent haunts consistently this is my well curated and tested list of some of the best places to get your foodie fix. 

I believe North East London is the best area for anything gastronomic in London - kicking central London's a** - from cocktails to dinner you can have many nights sorted with this region alone.  

North East London - Bistrots, Bakeries & Bars

I've been solo-traveling the globe for 10 years and enjoy finding lesser known places and spending time with locals. During my recent two-week stay in London, my local friends recommended to me some up-and-coming neighborhoods. I went and checked out the spots for myself! This guide takes you through the best options for cafés, pubs, nightlife, markets and leisurely strolls in the diverse areas of Hackney / Dalston.

Jolene Bakery & Restaurant

The Newington green location turns into an excellent bistrot in the evening - lit with candle lights in this would make for an excellent date night location. Have to book fairly far in advance.

Before noon, it's a relaxing cafe/bakery and after 12pm it turns into a romantic restaurant. Ambient is key here. Amazing food and service too!
