Food Scene

Great Thai restaurant for a Saturday afternoon. Sit and watch the hipsters pass. Great small plates (three each is perfect if you're really hungry). A little pricey but really fresh and tasty.

Perfect for a weekend/weekday brunch (more great coffee here). It can get busy so go early, but the food is delightful and freshly cooked. Another hipster paradise.

Essentials

The best deli outside of NYC's west village. Ok maybe a slight exaggeration, but really good. Super coffee, locally made gins, beers and tonics. Mid tier (organic) wines and AMAZING breads & pastries

Everything Else

If you eat meat - shop here. One of the best butchers in London and superb service (just ask them what's good and how to cook it). All free-range, much organic. What a butcher should be.

Arts & Culture

A gallery at the bottom of our road (and a really great one that also serves SUPERB brunch and evening food). Possibly the most hipsterish place to eat or have an (organic) beer. Great gallery too.
