What is the most interesting thing I've done as a Local Guide? – Exploring coffee shops in London

Before coming to London for my studies, I saved a lot of London coffee shops. I found so many independent cafes and chain coffee shops here, which I yearned for. When I arrived in London in 2018, I have visited more than 100 coffee shops and posted photos and reviews on Google Maps. It is happy for me to explore cafes all around the world, and undoubtedly London is one of the best places to discover secret and brilliant coffee.

I love Arabica coffee. When I traveled to Paris, I even had it in my must-to-visit pocket lists. As soon as the new branch opened in London, I immediately paid a visit and shared it on my social media. My followers rushed to visit it and loved it too.

I encountered this café by accident. One day I went to East London and would like to have a fancy place to have brunch, there I found Hackney Coffee Company. The eggs Benedict tasted great and coffee was amazing. According to my research, the coffee beans were freshly roasted from artisan farmers and that’s why it tasted extraordinary.

The café was discovered by accident on Instagram. It is near the Thames River and the environment is great with well-designed architecture. The coffee was tasty, and the brunch looked beautiful, which made it a popular place on social media. I felt so happy to discover this secret place as one of the first visitors since it was just opened.

To be honest, exploring many cafes in London makes me happy. I am constantly expanding my coffee shop list in London, and I hope that one day I can share all the excellent coffee shops I have explored with more people. Working as a local guide, I want to help more people to find their tasty coffee.
