A few metres from the hub of Camden is Bean ‘n’ Cup, an alternative to the nearby chains.

I came to Bean n Cup to catch up with a couple of old friends, and as a result this entry might not be very detailed (I was quite distracted).

I can tell you that the usual coffee selection is available… it wasn’t the best in the world, but perfectly ok. I can also tell you that there are comfy sofas – plenty of them – and lots of tables and chairs, allowing ample space for relaxing.
The place has a nice atmosphere; chilled and comfortable. It is also friendly (the waitresses smiled at us warmly on our departure).

I think my friends were pleasantly surprised to discover such a nice independent coffee shop just around the corner from Starbucks, Costa etc. They said they’d be coming back
This is a very nice spot. Next time I’m in London I might pop back and pay it some more attention; I’m sure it deserves it.
