16 classy cafés in London, as chosen by you

Tea. Coffee. Sofas. Brunches. Eggs. Toast! Cake. Papers. The whoosh of the milk frother machine. A little outside bit on a sunny day. The gentle easing of a hangover.

These are a few of our favourite things – and fortunately they're all available at London's PLETHORA of beautiful cafés and coffee shops. As we collect nominations for this year's Love London Awards (tell us your favourites now!), here are a few cute-as-a-button caffs you voted for last year.

6) Arancini Brothers, Kentish Town

 

Doing #breakfast right with a smashing wrap of bacon, (poached and runny!) eggs, mushroom and #RISOTTOBALLS. They taste like spudsters, only cuter.
