Café W

You'll find Café W tucked away on Greenwich Church Street, where locals actually drink their coffee instead of photographing it. This is the kind of place that does the fundamentals right—quality espresso, proper toast, eggs cooked how you ask for them—without any of the faffing about. The room itself feels unpretentious and lived-in, the sort of spot where you'll see regulars reading the paper and tourists grateful they've stumbled somewhere genuine. It's got that relaxed neighbourhood energy that makes Greenwich actually worth the trip beyond the market and the Observatory.
