the best joint i have found is flat white in soho, which was started by a kiwi mate of mine.

any other good recommendations?

There is this coffee place in borough market that is quite famous for its coffee apparently. Also a colleague said one bag of coffee from there would make you climb the walls (a bag is about the size of an iPhone).

No clue where it is, I possibly could find it again but I still dont know London Bridge quite well.

Search for Borough Market, London on Google Maps. Its all under the train tracks, down the road from where I work.

the cheap stuff is actually the BEST!!! my old local offy did this stuff called "O'Donovans" for like £3.99 and it was way stronger than baileys and tasted much better - kinda went all butterscotchy.... YUM!!!!
