The Coffee Studio - Battersea

Somewhere between coffee shop and co-working space, this Nine Elms café is built as much for settling in with a laptop as for a quick caffeine stop, opening at 7am and staying open until 8pm daily (Sundays until 4.30pm). The coffee is roasted fresh by a London-based roaster, and alternative milk never carries an extra charge — a policy the owners are clear won't be changing. Add in outdoor seating, a welcome for dogs and wheelchair access from entrance to toilet, and it's an easy place to linger.
