Helsinki / Shop

Despite their name visiting Stupido Shop is one of the smartest moves any music lover can make in Helsinki. Their record selection includes the hottest new LPs but there’s room for appreciation for the old classics too. These guys know their business.

Florence / Restaurant

Nice Lunch.

Dubai / Area

Karama is one of the oldest areas of Dubai. It's not properly maintained and has a bit more attitude than the heavily polished, bling buildings which cover the rest of the city. A wander around this area, a stop for some Indian curry and cheap shopping is a good afternoon activity.

London / Bar

I love this space.

Barcelona / Cafe

Wonderful little café in Poble Nou for light lunches and afternoon tea/coffee. The interior is fantastic and you can buy arty magazines and cute plants here.

Florence / Bar

Monkey Bar is the first place I discovered in Florence. In this small pub I found myself comforted with its dive bar feel. Lorenzo and Freddy, the bar tenders, greet their patrons with a kiss on each cheek, a sarcastic comment and cheap drinks. I have grown to love this small place; its welcoming atmosphere brings me instantly home in a city constantly bustling with mainstream tourism.

London / Architecture

As a keen runner, running through Greenwich Park and on to the river side I see the Thames Barrier, which is not only the worlds second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) but is also an iconic site on what is fast becoming a recognised stretch for developers including the 02 and Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication.

Amsterdam / Shop

A tiny record shop that has all the character you'd want. They also sell produce out front which gives it even more character.

London / Shop

Stationery, homewares and a few clothes. All simple classics.

Vilnius / Theatre

Most beautiful retro theatre cafe in Vilnius

London / Shop

Mei Leaf is a lovely little tea/health shop based in Camden with a friendly staff that are always happy to assist and give advice. I love exploring the many different teas and some of my personal favourites are the: Silk Oolong, Duck Sh*t Oolong, Amber Mountain and Silver Needle. Mei Leaf was established in London in 2006 to represent true tea culture. Don and his team tirelessly explore the mountains of the East to find the most delicious teas on the planet. These are pinnacle teas made by masters from the perfect terroirs and picked at the perfect season.

Los Angeles / Shop

The greatest video store in the world! With 72,000 VHS tapes in their collection, they have dedicated themselves to the art of losing yourself in a great movie and pride themselves on their vast collection of rare and oddball films. As Blockbuster video stores have begun to go out of business, Eddie Brandt's still lives!!!!
