I had fully intended todays coffee post to be all about the oldest coffee house in London, the “Jamaica Wine Bar”. It’s located (so I believe) only a few hundred metres from this apartment. But it was not to be….
I woke very early, so after catching up on email, I got ready and decided to head out and find the coffee house before going down to the conference centre at Westminster. I also had heaps of time so thought I’d find a cafe somewhere for breakfast first. Opening the window and checking, it was raining and a cold 11c. The window is over a small reasonably protected courtyard and didn’t quite prepare me for just how truly horrible to weather was today.
As soon as I headed out, it was blowing a gale and my umbrella turned inside out in seconds and I got drenched. I continued up to Leadenhall Market and cut through that looking for the coffee house. Unfortunately at some point I made a wrong turn and ended up heading north rather than west. By this time I was really wet and cold so gave up on the idea of the old coffee house for today. With the rain and wind, finding the tube station took longer than I expected and I only just made it to the conference centre in time to grab one of the free coffees there and head in. Luckily just like yesterday it was excellent coffee.
It's all about the coffee
