Canterbury - Burgate, Canterbury, United Kingdom
	OPENED: ???, PHOTO: 6/12/2009 In the shadow of the famous cathedral, this store is wholly charming. Stone walls, wooden ceiling, a historic feel, multiple rooms, and artwork throught. In fact, if you look hard enough, you'll find in the back a stand containing a golden plaque that descibes the history of the store.

Licensed Stores
My Starbucking rule regarding store ownership are complicated and will be explained fully in my as-yet-unpublished book, but here are the basics. If Starbucks has a proper company in a country, such as Starbucks United States or Starbucks United Kingdom, then I only count stores operated, in whole or in part (sometimes there are partnerships) by Starbucks. In these countries, stores operated under license by other companies do not count. In most countries, however, Starbucks operates stores in a joint venture with another company (such as Tata in India) or licenses the brand to a primary (exclusive or semi-exclusive) partner, such as Alsea in Latin America and western Europe or Al-Shaya in the Middle East). In such cases I visit stores operated by those primary licensees, but not stores licensed to secondary licensees such as SSP or HMSHost. Additionally, in the U.K. and France, Starbucks franchises to a small set of companies, and I do not count those stores. Finally, note that some stores listed below might have closed down.
LS - Welcome Break - London Gateway
Maidstone - Village Hotel
Thanet - Margate Rd (Unit A), West
