Corner Room is tucked away inside Bethnal Green’s Town Hall Hotel, so you have to know about it to find it (you can thank me later!). And it certainly is one to add to your little black book. The interior is dominated by reclaimed pendant lights, no two the same; furniture is homely and the […]

Rawduck is rather annoyingly ‘in the middle of nowhere’, requiring a significant walk from whichever Overground station you choose. When this is considered, the busyness of the place is testament to its offering, which is comprised of high quality Mediterranean-inspired plates for sharing, accompanied by a list of cocktails and natural, biodynamic wines. Sister to […]

First impressions are deceiving when you arrive outside this former Victorian library in the heart of North London bohemia. Camden Arts Centre has long been an institution of alternative artistic development with a focus of public participation at the core of its exhibitions, which are by emerging and established artists.

A hub of creativity lies behind the Brutalist concrete walls that make up this urban complex and Instagrammers’ paradise in the heart of London. Since its completion in the Eighties, the ambitious conception for the multidisciplinary Barbican Centre retains its dynamic vision to this day. Lose yourself between the network of music halls, cinemas, theatres […]

The museum houses the national collection of British art from the sixteenth century through to the present day including […]

I first ventured into TAP Coffee on Wardour Street in search of cold brew coffee – the ‘in’ thing to drink at the mo. TAP delivered in spades, serving the punchy chilled beverage in a brown glass bottle labelled with an oh-so-hipster luggage tag. Combined with top-notch cakes (baked on the premises) and a rustic […]

If you find yourself on an industrial street in Hackney, you probably won’t realise your proximity to one of the most beautiful brunch spots in London. Bistrotheque is totally unmarked from the outside, so you’re going to need some gumption to stroll on in through the unmarked door and up the stairs. When you reach […]
