The Drop by DropShot Coffee

Part of an independently run collection of south west London cafés inspired by the local tennis culture, this DropShot branch sits right at East Putney Station — a natural stop for early commuters, with doors opening at 7am on weekdays. It's an easy-going kind of place: dogs are welcome, the entrance is wheelchair-accessible, and both takeaway and sitting in are comfortably catered for. A 4.7 rating across 59 reviews suggests it has already won over plenty of locals.
