My favourite pan-asian BYOB spot (very afforadble) - the food is outstanding and they also have a small back garden area with patio heaters. Don't forget to take a bottle of your favourite wine/beer/fizz as they don't have an alcohol license. Bintang is very relaxed and is a 10 minute walk from Camden market.

Our favourite Jazz/Blues bar in London. Not only do they have an incredible house band, their cocktails and Korean/Japanese food is to die for. Japan meets Jazz. We love spending Saturday's here drinking G&Ts listening to some of that soul. Its a great place to pop into once you've wandered around Portobello market

A Great British Pub with funky decor - There is also a Black Lion on West End Lane but we think the Kilburn High Road one has more charm.
