Contemporary art gallery always showcasing interesting artists. Area is great and building is top

A beautiful and spacious (outside of rush hour) way to get from Highbury, through east London to south of the river in minutes. The train snakes epically through Hoxton and Shoreditch and opens up the Jubilee Line via the beautiful Canada Water / Bermondsey stations.

Amazing small plates restaurant near Newington Green in a old car showroom. 

Quick, easy, cheap thai food. It's fairly new to me, but easily makes this list.

Although my skating days are now over, Stockwell Skatepark located just behind Brixton Academy is one of the reasons I moved to Brixton. It’s an excellent place, lumpy and hectic but totally friendly with decent Portuguese coffee and cakes just next door.
