LANE EIGHT COFFEE

Lane Eight Coffee is the kind of cafe that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and it’s a hidden gem in London. The baristas here are like coffee ninjas, crafting the most excellent flat whites that’ll make your mornings brighter. Charlotte Catling and her boyfriend swear by it, and I can see why. The minimalist decor adds to the chill vibes, making it perfect for a quick coffee stop or a leisurely hangout.

But don’t get too comfortable; there’s not much seating, which means it’s a takeaway haven. If you’re lucky enough to nab a seat, you might be tempted to stay longer than intended. However, avoid the batch brew, as Gari Chan discovered it can come in cold, which is a hard pass in winter. Still, with the quality of coffee, you might just overlook the negatives. ☕✨
