This is my favourite place to have a morning coffee in London. Its real chilled and the music is always perfectly set to welcome the day in, its usually something I have never heard before too. The coffee is good and the tip jar they have is the best tip jar in the world so make sure you bring a bag of pennies. Sit with your sketch book and have a lil think.

In terms of materials and form, these galleries offer so much. On an abstract and typographic level, so useful. This is a section of an altar frieze, from the Eye Temple at Tell Brak (N.E. Syria), dated 3300–3000BC. The Egyptian rooms take the tourist weight; these spaces are much quieter and amenable time spent drawing and thinking.

Outside of the major players (Tate, V&A, RA) this is probably the best programmed gallery in London

Very lovely bookshop with a fantastic selection of books, magazines, and indie zines. Nicely curated.

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