Where to buy good espresso machine in London (zone 1-2)?

Question

Hi, I want to buy a good espresso coffee machine (probably italian, saeco, gaggia) and I wonder if there is a specialty store. My searches in internet return many online shops, but not physical stores.
I could go to the big ones(JL and the like), but ,i rather buy from a small retailer.
Any recommendation?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

personally, I would go to JL or selfridges 'cos they'll prob have a big variety and some stock left! I know upper street, islington has a few cool little kitchenalia shops, you might get a reconditioned one there. Also, around spitalfields market, close to liverpool street, there's a couple of shops there.

Your best bet would to get an Oyster card which will cost about £3.00 deposit for the actual card. You can then load some pre-paid credit and providing you tap in and out for every tube station it will automatically deducted the correct fare for your tube journey. It is also capped so you will never pay anymore than a one day travel card. Providing you stick with just zones 1-2 on the tube/train this is capped at £8.40 (peak) or £7.00 (off peak), after which any journeys within those zones you make will be free. Peak: Mon - Fri 06:30 - 09:30 & 16:00 - 19:00 (except public holidays) Off peak: Any other time including all day weekends and public holidays What's more there is no expiry date so any left over credit you can use next time you're in London
