A new independent coffee shop has opened in Southfields.

Putney-born owner and barista, Ed Savitt, thinks opening DropShot Coffee just before the start of the Wimbledon tennis tournament will make for an exciting first few weeks.

“As a south west London local, I’m really proud to be opening a coffee shop which will hopefully benefit the neighbouring community and visitors alike, offering somewhere that both residents of Southfields and those from further afield can enjoy," he said.

"Given the location (in Wimbledon Park Road), I’ve tried to include a few cheeky nods to tennis in the branding and shop design, which I hope all of our customers will appreciate.”

As well as the usual food and drink you would find at a coffee shop, all day brunch will be served for those who fancy a bit of a lie in.
