District

The flat white tasted impeccable. Perfect acidity, full bodied and flavourful. They offer a couple dairy free alternatives to milk as well.

Service was lovely. Everyone is polite and patient. I was reading and didn't initially hear someone asking who ordered a matcha latte, but he didn't seem to mind at all (but if you read this, sorry again!). They also offer free WiFi.

It's fairly small inside, so you'll likely have to share your table with others, but everyone seems amicable. There's a bathroom with bars for those are disabled.

I would like to give my heart felt thanks to the owner of this cafe and his lovely staff. I would also like to apologise.
I had a bad morning at a hotel I’d booked to enable me to go early to the American embassy to try to register my children as citizens. I had a suitcase and the embassy said I couldn’t go in with it. This cafe provides a service which no one else offered. The American embassy with all its fancy high profile and expensive security on this occasion came rock bottom whilst this superb cafe soared high!!
I was very upset and the staff were gentle and kind. I paid my money. When I came back, the same lovely staff members said a lovely man had paid for my suitcase to be stored. He’d had a bad morning at the embassy also.
I hope you read this Sir, you and this cafe give me hope that we are all still human and despite what life throws at us there is selfless kindness and people care about each other. Ten pound is cheap and the other chap who reviewed previously on here obviously doesn’t realise the value he missed.
Thank you District Cafe you deserve a 500 Gold Star standard!!xxx

Nice coffee. Opens early which is good. Doesn't take cash so bring card.

My husband and I were connecting in London to go to Brussels, when we found out Belgium wouldn’t let my husband in because his passport was expiring in less then 3 months. So we headed to the US Embassy for an emergency extension. Because of all the luggage we had and it was not my emergency they asked that I not come in. I walked about 3 min from the embassy and found this AMAZING coffee shop that has everything you would want while you’re killing a couple of hours, super friendly staff, great ambience, amazing music selection, delicious food and an incredible spread to order from. We are ending our trip in London and will be back for one more experience before we go back home!! Yummy and close to the waterfront!
