Ever since the Haggerston Railway station opened, this corner of Hackney has blossomed with restaurants such as Duke's Brew & Cue opening up. The Haggerston Espresso Rooms or HER as it calls itself, is now where the locals come for the Climpson & Sons coffee, satisfying the demand for a serious coffee shop in the area.
With a glass wall looking on busy Kingsland Road, the small room is packed with school desks, comfy sofas and mismatched chairs with the feel of a common room. There's free wifi, a friendly atmosphere and a small bookshelf for those without the compulsory Mac accessory.
