The Folly, a floating coffee-house on the River Thames, opposite Somerset House. London of the 17th and 18th century, was home to an eclectic and thriving coffee drinking scene. Those early coffeehouses were socially inclusive spaces where lords sat cheek-by-jowl with fishmongers and where butchers trumped baronets in philosophical debates. In London, where there were more coffeehouses than any other city in the western world, save Constantinople, workmen habitually begin the day by going to coffee-rooms to read the latest news.
