Next week is UK Coffee week and to celebrate here is a list of some of the best coffee shops in South East London and North Kent.

UK Coffee Week is a nationwide celebration of coffee that unites the industry and their customers to raise funds for the communities that grow coffee.

All donations received over the week go to Project Waterfall which is dedicated to bringing clean water facilities to coffee growing communities.

Over 500 billion cups of coffee are consumed globally each year, and every one of those cups is an opportunity to make a difference.
