One of the founding names of London specialty, still running the bean counter at Bermondsey where staff walk you through farm-level tasting notes before you buy. The retail experience here shaped what the city now takes for granted.

The roaster that taught London what single origins taste like, still at the counter.

What we love

  • Own roastery: beans sourced, roasted, and sold in-house at the Bermondsey counter
  • Single origins named by farm and country, not just 'seasonal blend'
  • Tasting notes on the menu, with staff who actually know what they mean
  • Retail beans available whole or freshly ground to take home

Monmouth Coffee Company Office and Roastery★★★ Purist

Saturday mornings only, at the roastery where London's specialty coffee scene started. Drink on-site and treat Spa Terminus's wider artisan market as the rest of the morning.

WatchHouse Roastery★★★ Purist

WatchHouse Bermondsey is the production roastery, not a branded outpost. Rotating single origins on V60, Chemex, and Kalita, with tasting notes on the menu and beans to take home.

WatchHouse Bermondsey★★★ Purist

WatchHouse started at this address, and Bermondsey remains the version that takes the coffee programme to its logical conclusion. The filter is plural, serious, and worth planning around.
