Drawing inspiration from the energy of London and the attitude of the original punk scene, London Calling has launched a range of boutique coffee blends to stimulate the connoisseur’s taste buds.


The popularity of coffee has exploded in recent years, and today’s customers have come to expect high standards of taste from their drink. London Calling has sourced the best beans from around the world to create a selection of both blended coffees and expertly roasted single-source beans. Currently there are five blends. According to Joe Bedford- Stockwell, sales and marketing manager for London Calling, “They’re packed with enough flavour to satisfy the most demanding coffee lovers and leave them buzzing with pleasure.”


London Calling’s flagship blend is made from three different sources, combining Brazilian Mogiana, Columbian Huila and Honduran Arabica beans. This has an aroma of chocolate biscuit and butter, with a taste that moves from marzipan

and subtle notes of honey-roasted nuts with hints of apricot, to a rich, smooth butterscotch and hazelnut flavour finish, with a strong syrupy body and vivid golden crema.


Rock the Casbah is a mixture of Arabica and Robusta beans giving it a thick, syrupy texture with a lot of flavour, making it ideal for milky l attes, cappuccinos or espressos. Combining Mogiana and Ethiopian Mocha Sidamo Arabica and Indian Cherry AB Robusta, it has an initial low acidity with a distinct malty sweetness developing through to the finish.


“Coffee drinkers are a demanding bunch,” says Joe. “They want strong, distinctive flavours. We took our inspiration from the original punk bands who helped change the world with their uncompromising, individualistic attitude.”


London Calling coffee is available as beans or ground, in packs of 1kg and 227g. Catering packs containing 6 x 1kg bags are available. For more information visit: londoncallingcoffee.co.uk


Created by artisans of interiors, food and drink, each location is individually designed with a contemporary style, reflecting both local and global influences. From morning coffee to evening nightcap, the Wimbledon site will feature an all-day casual bar dining experience with a menu of delectable cocktails and drinks plus locally sourced sustainable hearty and virtuous food for any time of day.


The sites design will celebrate its locality and residential neighbourhood and will feature an incredible terrace to be enjoyed all year round, in both the winter and summer months. Maximising the use of light and space, the space will draw on European Hygge inspirations from Copenhagen, Denmark. Alike the groups portfolio, the new Wimbledon bar will feature unique design elements to resonate with its local area, to celebrate Wimbledon’s rich culture, its heritage and beyond. Recognised for their design and architecture, Darwin & Wallace are two time award winners of the Restaurant and Bar Design Awards’ ‘Best Pub’ for No 1a Duke Street in 2016 and No 197 Chiswick Fire Station in 2017.


Darwin & Wallace’s sixth site will open in Wimbledon in Spring 2018.
