The Princess Louise, was a Victorian Gin Palace, with mirror and tiles galore, segregated seating and extraordinary urinals. With pints of beer just over £2 you're laughing. It gets packed so we come for a lunchtime pint.

Excellent Turkish bakery. I highly recommend their £2 gözleme.

A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.

Founded in 1828 the museum houses around 67,000 specimens many of which are now extinct or endangered. My favorite is the skull of a Bottlenose Whale from 1860.

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