Check it out on Redchurch St, in East London.Photo by: Sabrina Andrea Sachs, @cafesaroundtheworld ## **Iris & June ** The area of Victoria was probably the one that most needed some **real** coffee beyond the usual global chains in central London, so **Iris and June** was more than welcome when they opened their doors and this beautiful and minimalist cafe, just a few minutes away from the busy station.Photo by: Sabrina Andrea Sachs, @cafesaroundtheworld ## **Coffee Circus**

This is was one of my latest caffeine finds in London and I wished I had found it before because this is a truly special spot. Coffee Circus is a family-owned, independent coffee shops serving great caffeine-fuelled drinks and some truly amazing snacks and pastries. The ambience and decorations alone deserve a visit. Make sure to say hi to the clowns for me ?Photo by: Sabrina Andrea Sachs, @cafesaroundtheworld ## **Market Cafe**If you live or you are visiting London, a stroll to Broadway Market is *mandatory* as well as a flat white or your coffee of choice from**[Market Cafe](http://www.market-cafe.co.uk)**. Enjoy sipping it at one of the tables alfresco or in the light-filled indoor space.Photo by: Sabrina Andrea Sachs, @cafesaroundtheworld ## **Milk Bar Soho**** ** Far from being a secret spot, **[Milk Bar](http://www.milkbarsoho.co.uk)** is probably one of the most famous (with a good reason) coffee shops in London, but no post is complete without ts mention, so here it is. Make sure to get your caffeine fix from here while in SoHo.Photo by: Sabrina Andrea Sachs, @cafesaroundtheworld > If it wasn’t for the coffee, I’d have no identifiable personality whatsover. >  – David Letterman- - - - - - …here are some other articles you might fancy…
