The best place for a glass of wine*. It's the perfect balance – not too formal, not too informal either. Food is consistently good. Lamb's Conduit Street is a little oasis in the midst of Bloomsbury. (*slightly overpriced)

Brunch and lunch in a beach-house-style cafe.

My favourite local beer garden.

The Party Superstore was/is my absolute favourite London shop until it was bizarrely attacked and gutted during the summer London riots. They have been since adopted as a concession by the local Debenhams but you can still savour the full delights of the products and nonsense on line.

This is a nice place to hangout...they have healthy food, juices and desserts! The pistachio ice cream is dairy free and really good!
