\n\"starbucks\"<\/h3>\n

Some coffee purists may look down on those who wish to have coffee in any chain caf\u00e9. However, depending on what you may think of the coffee itself, there are still some rather stylish spots to go to in London. This particular Starbucks is situated in a scenic spot in London, not far from the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. It has an upstairs seating area and tables outside. St. Katherine\u2019s docks is not only a great place to visit for coffee, it\u2019s also home to some lovely shops and restaurants, as well as various events and festivals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"benugo\"<\/p>\n

A lesser, well-known chain Benugo, has various locations across the city, including this location in Kings Cross St Pancras.
