It’s no secret that London is addicted to coffee. Today’s flat white drinkers are well versed - with a taste for single origins and light roasts - but what is often forgotten is that the city has a rich history of coffeehouses going back to the 1650s.
Bestselling author Lani Kingston and photographer David Post have captured the stories of the most inspirational modern-day artisans, roasters, growers, innovators and entrepreneurs who make London, once again, a world capital of coffee.
This book comes with a fold-out map featuring 50 of the best London coffee shops.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Enter the private world of a group of Travellers living beneath the Westway, London’s vast elevated highway connecting suburbia to the city. Part of a unique culture so often stigmatised in the media, this close-knit community is under increasing pressure to move on and risk losing their identity for good. Here is their story.
Paul's documentary photographs are accompanied by text detailing his experience including how he gained access to this otherwise closed group.
Paul Wenham-Clarke is an Association of Photographers Gold Award winner and a Professor of Photography at Arts University Bournemouth where he is the MA Photography course leader. His work is the result of a desire to communicate social and environmental issues that he feels passionately about, whether it is the loss of human and animal life on our roads, the plight of our homeless, or, as in this book, a community fighting to protect its cultural identity.
This is the first edition.
