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. 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.
