Caffe Nero is there in landside arrivals, and they'll sell you a very strong, dark espresso.
There's also Giraffe, but I find their stuff borderline undrinkable.

Le Signore in Palace Street (Victoria) is a bit of a relic of the past in many ways - there used to be many more of these tiny Italian snack bar places. Caters equally to people in Savile Row suits and hi vis vests. Not one for crossing town for; just a suggestion if you are in the area.
Equally miss the old school sandwich shops: Wonderful, cliche Englishness at its very best. Sigh...

My husband and I like The Department of Coffee mini-chain. There are a few in touristy areas (Covent Garden, Carnaby Street, Piccadilly) as well as some non-touristy areas.

Kiosk or Caravan for coffee. I'm not sure if it's still there, but a couple of years ago there was a little mobile food truck that did coffee parked in front of KX tube station.
