My favourite library when I was a student, I still love to wander and look up to its Renaissance sculptures. 

The St Bride Foundation is the home of the St Bride Library, an incredible resource of printing history, in the form of books, printed ephemera, and tools from the trade. It also hosts many fantastic talks each year – check their website for details.

Excellent gallery. It has big rooms which often feature large pieces and admission is free.

NFT1 Films are well selected but if by chance what is on screen does not suit your taste then the seats are very comfortable to nap in.

If you've lived in North London then you probably know all about The Faltering Fullback and their legendary multi-level beer garden
