In light (more like celebration) of the news that Starbucks is closing the vast majority of it’s outlets in Australia, I’m going to compile a list of independent coffee shops in London that could be used as recommendations. Aussie/Kiwi run coffee shops will be highly prized - I have only found a few places where I can order a flat white and not be looked at like I was speaking a foreign language.
Here's the list so far, if it starts getting too long, I'll try and create a seperate page for it:

I am a big fan of Taylor St Baristas, and a regular at their Richmond Branch. They have also just opened up a new shop just across from Liverpool Street Station

Ooooh, Richmond is a little far out for me, but I'll certainly try the Liverpool Street Station one. :D
Monmouth Street Coffee either in Covent Gdn or Borough.
Melrose and Morgan, Primrose Hill
Cheers Tim! Updating the list now.
Great idea - just a shame there aren't any great places in Farringdon.. I would walk 10mins out of the way to work for it.
Hi Mer
No posting since August ... you losing the faith?

No, just stupidly busy with other things: new job, trying to plan a wedding, renovations, that sort of hing.
I feel like a neglectful parent.
oh this is great.
You could probably add any Portuguese run cafe if you want decent espresso
Do you know any in particular I could put up on the list? Perhaps one with a particular atmosphere?
I'm enjoying these postings.
For me the best has to be Caffé Vergnano 1882 on 62 Charing Cross Road, London.

For me though the best surely has to be Caffé Vergnano 1882 on 62 Charing Cross Road, London.

I keep meaning to go there just for the espresso. Been past it so many times but never inside.
