Born in Bermondsey, discovered worldwide.
From humble beginnings in South London, we're building a local community far and wide. Approachable, considered, full of quality and provenance; thoughtful products and paraphernalia for your daily cup. Our House or yours.
Pourers of the world’s best coffees and providers of the tools and techniques that make it yours.
Visit us25 square meters on London’s famous Bermondsey Street was all it took to conceive WatchHouse and lay the foundations of everything to come.
Historically a shelter for men guarding the graveyard of St Mary Magdalen’s Church, today we honour its former role by providing a contemporary sanctuary to our customers. This tiny building became our namesake and the original home of the Modern Coffee ambition: to offer the community quality coffee, food and service, in carefully considered and beautifully designed spaces.
Our vision has continued to grow, leading us to new spaces, an expanded offering and many great community & industry relationships. As we look to the future, we hope to continue to build on what we started back in 2014; distinctive spaces remain at the heart of our development, and Modern Coffee at the heart of what we do.
Our approach.
A home to those who value craft and quality, our aspiration is to be the local hero of choice. Dedicated to transparent, ethical coffee and food supply chains, we source seasonally from the best producers around the world. Sharing these sourcing stories with you, as we believe the enjoyment of food and coffee is more than just consumption, it's knowledge. We take equal pride in the skill that goes into sourcing, production and presentation.
