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.

J+A is a hidden and unpretentious café/ bar just off busy Clerkenwell Road - with outdoor seating!

Taken some beautiful portraits here in black and white, place image not be me.

I'm waiting for a vegetarian-friendly event to get the full dining experience, but in the meantime there's wine!

They mainly sell art and cultural theory books but they also have a good selection of small press and self-published zines. It’s a great place to browse and get ideas.
