Orient Espresso: My favourite cafe in London Orient Espresso Review

Almost every coffee shop in London nowadays seems to be one of a chain - Starbucks, Caffe Nero, Coffee republic, etc. It's getting more and more difficult to find a good, independent cafe in London, which is one of the reasons why I love Orient Espresso. It's only a small place, but it's great value, serves good coffee and has very friendly staff. Best of all is their selection of Lonely Planet/Rough guide books covering destinations all over the world. The cafe is part of a hostel of the same name, hence it's always full of young travellers from all over.
