There's something about this street, probably the fact that it's pedestrianised, that makes it feel like holidays. It also has a solid range of bars (Cafe Kick), restaurants (Berber & Q) and cafes (Brill) so is a good option for all times of the day. They have a quality variety of street food vendors operatin during the day, and fairy lights help it to come alive at night

A very good selection of non-fiction, essays, and rare books. The Japanese book collection is gorgeous!

If you like cocktails and pink neon lights, Tonight’s Josephine is definetly a perfect spot to spend your night! 

Whipps Cross flats next to Hollow Pond boating lake is where I run. A perfect antidote to the chaos in the city.
