Brought to you by Magic Stamp
Coffee shops have grown exponentially over the past decade and are even starting to threaten the traditional English pub’s long held position of pre-eminence, on the national drinking totem pole. This huge rise in popularity can be explained by their authenticity, friendliness and simplicity. They serve a huge range of functions, ranging from socialising with friends to a place to get some serious work done and everything in between. We wanted to suggest some unique coffee shops in London and the surrounding area that you can visit and get rewards for your purchase with Magic Stamp from each of them.
