Westminster and the City are famous for politics, finance, and historic landmarks. What many travellers don’t expect is the thriving network of specialty cafés tucked between government buildings and medieval churches. Londunnit’s tours reveal this quieter side of central London—one shaped by independent roasters, creative baristas, and cafés that honour the past through thoughtful design.

The City of London has long been linked with coffee. The world’s first coffeehouses helped shape trade, journalism, and public debate. Today’s cafés build on that tradition with new brewing methods, single-origin beans, and a passion for quality that rivals any major coffee capital.

On our tours, visitors explore these modern spaces alongside historic ones. One stop might be a minimalist café serving Cup of Excellence beans, while the next is a crypt café beneath a church more than 300 years old. The contrast is part of the charm. You get a taste of how London evolves while preserving pieces of its past.

A sample morning might start at a neighborhood market. You meet a cheesemonger who explains how a crumbly British classic is made. A few streets away, a craftsperson sets type by hand in a snug workshop. Later, an ivy-lined mews opens onto a canal path where boats drift past and a café owner recognizes your Londunnit guides share stories behind each location, from early coffee merchants to the rise of London’s third-wave scene. Guests learn how brewing techniques shape flavour and how different regions produce beans with unique profiles. It’s an introduction to coffee appreciation without any pretence.

Walking these neighbourhoods also reveals hidden architecture, quiet courtyards, and small streets that even long-time Londoners overlook. By the end of the coffee tour, visitors feel immersed in city life rather than observing it from a distance. They leave with new favourite cafés and a better understanding of how culture and coffee intersect here.
