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

A spot that I've gone to time and time again for shoots for it's amazing architecture and greenery. Place image not by me

The thing I love most about London is the juxtaposition of urban and rural, and nowhere is this better illustrated than in Lea Valley Park. A genuine wilderness where I’ve seen everything from ponies, to a rogue Costco outlet, and all less than 20 minutes from my front door.

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)

This is a nice place to hangout...they have healthy food, juices and desserts! The pistachio ice cream is dairy free and really good!
