The UK's only cinema dedicated to documentaries. Really interesting programme of screenings, events and talks.  

Having spent many years studying there, I have a soft spot for Central Saint Martins, which finally closed in September 2011 when the college relocated to Kings Cross. Despite being such a dive, the old building had such history and character and I grew very fond of its tatty charms. As plans for its take over by Foyles bookshop go ahead, I look forward to having a coffee in the new building's cafe when it re-opens.

East London shop where you can find nice pieces from independent artists, nice presents or home decoration.

An intimate live music venue in Dalston with lots of underground and experimental music you won't find anywhere else in London.

A+ little book store full of publications made by artists. So many beautiful and interesting books to choose from.
