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.
This is the WatchHouse that actually makes the coffee, not just serves it, so what lands in your cup was cupped and roasted a few floors up.
This is the original WatchHouse, the site the brand grew out of, still running the own-roastery programme that built its reputation for sourcing literacy.
