Great Italian pizzeria a stone's throw from Golders Green tube station: their pizzas are huge and delicious, and their calamari ain't bad either! Expect real Italian atmosphere at the weekends, with lots of loud families eating together. It's right under the train tracks too, which adds to the atmosphere.

Shopping
Once the largest shopping centre in Europe, Brent Cross (built in 1976) might not be pretty from the outside, but rest assured that everything you need is inside. From H&M to John Lewis, to Apple and Lush - Brent Cross is a nice, covered alternative to Oxford Street with a fraction of the crowds (except for Christmas time)
