Alfies Antique Market

london's specialty coffee scene has a habit of rewarding the curious, the people who wander a little further from the obvious postcodes. church street in marylebone is exactly that kind of detour, a stretch where antique dealers and weekend market stalls set a pace that's slower than the city usually allows. alfies antique market, at 13-25 church street nw8, sits inside all of that. it's locally well regarded, which in a neighbourhood this particular means something. you don't hold a good reputation on church street by accident, not with the foot traffic that actually knows its coffee. go on a weekend morning, when the market is moving and the street is at its most itself.
