The V and A houses a public collection of prints and drawings of every kind imagineable from old master drawings to photographs, playing cards, fashion plates and wallpapers. You have to select what you want to see from the collection http://collections.vam.ac.uk/and book in advance. The behind-the-scenes route up to the study room of v and a is a treat alone (pictured)

Izakaya-inspired dishes, incredible music played through a proper audiophile set-up, in a beautiful looking and low-lit setting. What all restaurants should be like.

There are very few better places to be on a summer's day than the massive beer garden at People’s Park Tavern on Victoria Park

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

One or two screenings a day, a few days a week; less is more at Close Up. The library is a great resource too, for work or pleasure.
