Old Spike
Peckham Rye, London
Old Spike is old in name only, their fresh approach to coffee means they’re the UK's first social enterprise, speciality coffee roastery.

They first launched as a cafe and roastery space in London’s Peckham Rye — establishing themselves as the first speciality coffee roastery to operate as a social enterprise. Since then, they've continued to be at the forefront of using coffee as a vehicle for social change.
