I rediscovered this place recently having not been for years and now I keep returning. The geological galleries are my favourites.

Everyone who works at Daunt Books seems to have the answer to any question you might have, watching my large dog carefully navigate their narrow aisles is always fun too.

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

The best ice cream I have ever tasted in England – You are allowed any and every flavor and they shape it into a rose.

Hidden away in the backstreets of Finsbury Park, I used to share a house opposite this pub, where it assumed the role as our second living room. A real north London gem, I still go there these days for the tree-house-like, leafy terraced beer garden, which is perfect for summer evenings.
