If coffee, cakes and cats sounds like your idea of heaven, then you’ve come to the right place. Nothing quite beats the feeling of a cat purring in your lap as you take that first sip of your morning coffee. But what if you don’t have a cat? These London cafés have got you covered. They’ve combined coffee and cats to create a peaceful experience for both the cats and us humans. Most of the cats that live at the cafés are rescues getting ready to head to their forever homes and by spending time with them, you’re preparing them for a life outside the café. Plus, it’s been scientifically proven that spending quality time with our furry feline friends improves our overall health and happiness. Here’s our guide to cat cafés in London so that you can get your feline fix.

London's number one cat café
Part of the global cat café trend, Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium has furry friends prowling its two floors in search of cuddles and playtime. The café offers a cosy setting to enjoy a cuppa or grab a bite in, though as advance booking and an entry fee are required, you might want to consider finding someplace elsewhere for your coffee fix if you aren’t much of a cat person.
