Five Coffee Shops in Battersea

Battersea is home to some of south London’s most visited landmarks, including Battersea Park and the iconic Battersea Power Station.

But it’s the redevelopment and investment over recent years that have strengthened Battersea’s position on the map. With two tube stations and new shops and restaurants by Nine Elms, it’s no wonder this area has become so popular with locals and tourists alike.

If you’re planning a trip to this London hotspot, discover the best Battersea coffee shops and cafés worth a try on your next visit.

5 Top Coffee Shops and Cafés in Battersea

Whether you need a quick hit of espresso or want to linger over a latté, explore our five favourite coffee shops and cafés in Battersea to stop and enjoy the atmosphere.

1. Pear Tree Café

You can’t beat the Pear Tree Café’s waterside location in the heart of Battersea Park. It’s ideal on a summer’s day when you can sit outside next to the boating lake or sit indoors with a hot cappuccino when it’s grey and rainy. 

You’ll find a wide selection of excellent coffee and tea, as well as wine, beer, and cocktails, and the food menu provides the perfect choice of brunch classics served all day.

They’re also dedicated to sustainable and ethical sourcing of their coffee, which you can buy to make at home. Their cafés are cosy while still feeling open and contemporary, serving the needs of the to-go crowd and those wanting to settle down in a comfy armchair.
