After you sweat it out in a class at Psycle or do some heavy-duty shopping on Oxford Street you certainly need a caffeine hit. Head to Workshop for fantastic coffee and delicious pastries. Found yourself further east? Pop into the Vyner Street location for some of the best coffee in Bethnal Green. 

This is one of the Australian-owned coffee shops credited with kicking off London’s third-wave scene. There are two Fitzrovia spots, a five-minute walk from each other, and they’re both brimming with bircher muesli breakfast meetings followed by queues out the door for the home-baked brioche sandwiches at lunchtime. We rate the Great Titchfield joint, which is a little bigger and a little further from the rush of Oxford Circus.

This bright sprawling space, situated on an unassuming corner in Fitzrovia, organises the most exclusive sample sales. Elbow your way through crowds of customers hoarding discounted A.P.C satchels or Toteme jackets for some seriously good finds. Just be sure to register on the website before you go.

Joké Bakare’s supper club turned pop-up is in part responsible for London’s modern West African dining movement. Now operating from a permanent space behind Oxford Circus, the Nigerian chef is dishing out an affordable set menu that won the restaurant a Michelin star in its first year: quail with yellow chilli and sesame paste and balls of deep-fried rice and coconut dough to the sound of Afrobeats. One of London’s boldest and most exciting tables.
