Food Scene

One of my top places to eat in the whole of London. Beautiful interior (especially the outside Veranda on a nice day) and very tasty food. I always take the egg+bacon naan for breakfast, it's highly recommended! Get here early for brunch otherwise make sure to make a reservation, otherwise you'll be waiting!

A wonderful Indian street food restaurant, truly one of the best. Only thing to note, you can be waiting quite a while for a table, but they will text you once your table is ready, so you enjoy a drink elsewhere beforehand. Make sure to try the Aloo Chaat, my favourite.

Best pizza in Shoreditch. I don't think you can beat the Salami, Rocket and Parmesan...

Everything Else

Only on a Sunday morning, Columbia Road Flower Market is bustling with colour and energy. Even if you don't want to buy flowers, a trip is recommended just to soak up the atmosphere. Get here early (8-9AM) if you prefer to avoid large crowds.

Arts & Culture

One of my favourite museums in London. It's free entry too, and you can pay extra if you'd like to see other exhibitions. Around this area in South Kensington, you'll also find the National History Museum and Science Museum too.

Drinks & Nightlife

Located on Rivington St, this Speakeasy/quirky cocktail bar serves up some mean drinks, with a chilled atmosphere. There's a secret room, and there's also a secret secret room! ;-)

Ace Hotel has a wonderful lounge in the main lobby, where you can order a coffee or some cocktails. On an evening, it can be quite lively with good music.

Parks & Nature

On a sunny day, you can take the Overground to Hampstead Heath, which features a quaint town next to a very spacious park. There are also 3 ponds for diving/dipping - male, female and a mixed pond.
