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

Not long in the custody of the National Trust, designed by Philip Webb and commissioned by William Morris, in 1859. Tucked away in Beckenham. William and Jane Morris only lived here for five years; not a happy time of their marriage. But there is humility, authority and even bite, in the domestic scale. The rigorous, holistic design-hand at work belies any sense of souvenir shop Morris-lite. The vegetable garden in late Summer is the place to be.

If you've lived in North London then you probably know all about The Faltering Fullback and their legendary multi-level beer garden

Sit. Drink coffee. Buy Leica. Leave penniless.

My favourite local beer garden.
