Meeting place that served coffee

The Chartists' National Convention at the British Coffee House in February 1839

The British Coffee House was a coffeehouse at 27 Cockspur Street, London.

It is known to have existed in 1722, and was run in 1759 by a sister of John Douglas (bishop of Salisbury), and then by Mrs. Anderson, and was particularly popular with the Scottish.[1] English coffeehouses in the 17th and 18th centuries acted as public meeting places. Ned Ward, the 18th century writer was a client to the coffeehouse.

It was rebuilt by Robert Adam in 1770, and was owned by David Hatton Morley, the father of Atkinson Morley.
