Field notes
The navigation divides the directory into map, shops, and areas, alongside a separate essays section. The editor says the selection favors places where coffee is the main focus and is based on firsthand visits rather than public submissions. The homepage connects the name to London coffeehouses and says “list” refers to Lloyd’s List; its ambition to make the site an online place for learning and exchange is stated as a goal.
