Chancery Press

still finding good coffee around the inns of court takes more patience than it should. chancery lane sits in that odd pocket of central london where legal london and the city blur together, and most of what you'll find is built for speed, not attention. chancery press is the exception you'll actually want to return to. independent, locally well regarded, and roasting its own beans, it brings a level of seriousness to this particular stretch of wc2a that you don't take for granted once you've settled in. if you're in the area mid-morning, before the lunch crowd pushes through from holborn, that's when you'll feel the difference most. grab a filter before noon.
