A gift from Kyoto - a beautiful hidden Japanese garden in Holland Park 

Lovely pub/cafe. Great atmosphere, best to sits outside 

Where 1984 of George Orwell got its inspiration from, the craziness of a real ministry of propaganda. 

The second coffee shop has to be Kaffeine. Having only recently come across this one, I was certainly impressed and they may even have the best coffee I've had, since a short stay in Portland, Oregon.

You might think the Tate Britain is the less interesting of the two London outposts: full of crusty oil paintings and pensioners on day-trips, but you’d be wrong. Not only is the building a delicious warren of interconnecting rooms, each more beautiful than the last, but it also houses a collection of pre-Raphelite works that has me in tears of awe every time I swing by.
