Starbucks isn’t doing so well in Britain right now. The coffee chain has shut down 10 branches in the UK in just the past month, and a whopping six of them are in the capital. Londoners will have to go elsewhere for their pumpkin spice frappuccinos from now on. 

The closures have come comes as Starbucks has reassessed its portfolio in Europe and the United States, citing difficult trading conditions. A spokesperson for the chain said closures were made ‘with the goal of ensuring that our stores are correctly located, generating appropriate levels of foot traffic and operating in the right formats’.

The company said the sites chosen for closure were because they weren’t able to ‘create the physical environment customers want’ and were not performing financially. However, the coffee bosses have said they are still sticking to their target of opening 80 new stores across the UK before the end of the current financial year. 

Locations across the Big Smoke have now lost their local Starbs, including Leyton, London Bridge and Balham. Here’s the full list of closed Starbucks sites in London.
