Heaven in the heart of ugly Vauxhall. This peaceful and enchanting spot used to be squatted and has a very bohemian feel to it. Don't miss the secret garden with mosaics made of cups and plates. The food in the Italian deli is delish, a guy called Richard cooks it.

An obvious choice but no 'best of London' list is complete without the Barbican

A great club to see amazing performance from the funniest drag queens in the city. I have so much laugh and fun every time I am going.

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

Best spot for breakfast, lunch and people watching on Regent's Canal in East London.
