Here is a sketch of the coffee merchant Climpson & Sons, on Broadway Market in Hackney.

I was sitting at a table in the café opposite, which is called “Route”.
Climpsons are a coffee merchant and roastery based in East London. They roast their coffee in Walthamstow, and their HQ is just the other side of London Fields from Broadway Market.

They were doing a brisk trade as I sketched, and people drank their coffees on the benches outside.

I did most of the sketch on location and finished it at my desk.
