Atkinsons is one of Britain's most prestigious coffee merchants, serving up all kinds of exotic beans and loose leaf teas since 1840. It has been at this location since 1901: inside, the walls are covered in original tea and coffee urns, while original direct flame roasters from the 1930s give off a fabulous aroma. It's worth popping in just for the scent.
