As everyone knows, caffeine is every Londoner's lifeblood. Which is why it's very important to know exactly where to find your daily fix of coffee around campus. Here is our virtual tour of caffeine hot spots around LSE!
Wright’s Bar
Wright’s Bar is a regular haunt for LSE students who like food and coffee at a good price. Directly outside Old Building, it’s very convenient for anyone who has an early morning lecture in Old Theatre.
Tip: Coffee only costs 50p (whereas a latte in Starbucks or Costa is at least six times the price). It only takes cash, but there’s an ATM right next to it.
LSE Garrick
Garrick is opposite Wright’s Bar, and it’s a pretty good place to meet up with friends or classmates for group work since it’s got a lot of tables and space to spread around. It also serves hot food in the basement if you’re in the mood for a hot lunch.
Tip: Since it’s a LSE space, it takes LSE sQuid and Loyalty, as well as cash and contactless. Use your sQuid card on your LSE ID card at all LSE Catering outlets and earn an amazing 5% loyalty reward.
Fleet Street Press
Fleet Street Press is one of the places that gets introduced every single year when it comes to coffee spots. If you want to look fancy getting a coffee, this is the place to be.
Tip: Cosy up on a downstairs sofa to escape from busy city life.
The Bean Counter
The Bean Counter is in 32 Lincoln’s Inn Fields. Again, great place for just getting a coffee or meeting up with classmates for group projects. If your classes are mostly in 32L, this is a good place to hang out.
Tip: Use your sQuid card on your LSE ID card at all LSE Catering outlets and earn an amazing 5% loyalty reward.
Field’s Cafe
Fields Cafe is tucked inside Lincoln Inn Fields, so if you don’t walk through the park you wouldn’t even notice it was there; some students go through all three years of their degree without even knowing of its existence! It has a nice selection of cakes and snacks, so if you don’t mind a slightly longer walk, this is a good place to be.
Tip: Show your LSE ID card to get 25% off your bill.
Espresso Room
Espresso Room is just down the road from the New Academic Building. While it may look a little small, there’s actually a very spacious basement where you can just sit for hours (especially since they have wifi). If you want a little change of environment to give yourself that boost in productivity, this is a good place to go.
Tip: Present your LSE ID card and get 10% off your purchase.
There are also a bunch of other cafes sprinkled around campus, such as Café 54 in the NAB, the café on the 4th floor of the Old Building, the Plaza Café just outside the Library, the cafés on the 1st and 4th floors of Saw Swee Hock, the Daily Grind in the the reception of Pankhurst House… Wherever you go, don’t worry, because a cup of coffee is just around the corner.
