For those of you that like your coffee and are less hipster-phobic, you could do worse than check out the London's Best Coffee app for iOS. It's been super-helpful for finding a decent brew on my trips down to London. Getting an update with the Christmas opening hours was a nice surprise and saved on a couple of wasted journeys. They also make a Craft Beer London app. I've not used it, but if it's as good as the coffee one, it's probably worth a punt.
