How this page is built. Every venue below is drawn from OpenStreetMap and scored on recorded facts — Someone wants a cafe where they can sit with a laptop for a few hours. Venues that OpenStreetMap knows nothing relevant about are left off rather than padded in, which is why this list is shorter than the total number of cafe-type venues in London. Full method.

Frequently asked questions

How many London cafes are on this list?

This page ranks the top 40 of 2501 cafes in London that OpenStreetMap records at least one relevant detail for. Of the 40 shown, 40 have Wi-Fi recorded and 40 publish their opening hours.

Which of these London cafes have Wi-Fi?

Of the venues on this page, Euphorium, Caffè Nero, Caffè Nero, Starbucks and Third Culture Deli all have Wi-Fi recorded in OpenStreetMap. Wi-Fi is not tagged for every venue, so absence here means "not recorded", not "no Wi-Fi".

Which of these cafes are step-free?

Caffè Nero, Starbucks, Unico, Black Sheep Coffee and Mouse Tail Coffee Stories are tagged as wheelchair accessible in OpenStreetMap. Accessibility tagging is incomplete, so it is worth confirming with the venue.

How is this list ranked?

Venues are scored on the facts OpenStreetMap records about them - wi-fi recorded in openstreetmap, wi-fi is free, power sockets recorded, opening hours published, outdoor seating - and ranked by that score. A venue with no relevant detail recorded is left off the list entirely rather than padded in. Nothing on this page is a paid placement.
