I love the Brixton markets, they are about as far from the food aisle of any multi national supermarket as you can imagine. One minute you can be in Thailand, then Jamaica via Turkey the next. Franco Manco is pretty busy, but it’s very special to me.

THE place for birthday presents and bookcases (mine was 50p).

Everyone should visit this absurd restaurant once in their lifetime. Its over-priced, mediocre food but the decor and ambiance is like nothing else in theatrics and campery. You are met on arrival by a white velour 'napkin' artfully screwed up on your diner plate. Absorbent, not? Fabulously awful, yes.

Choosing Keeping has a collection of rare, beautiful European, American and Japanese stationery. A stationery haven. 

Beautiful gallery just off Bermondsey St, I've never been disappointed by what I've seen at White Cube
