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.

My favourite park in town. They have a small Japanese garden and areas marked off for joggers. Well organised space.

This is my regular working place every week. Love the staffs there and the atmosphere surrounding by contemporary arts.

Choosing Keeping has a collection of rare, beautiful European, American and Japanese stationery. A stationery haven. 

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.
