I couldn't decide which coffee shop to feature so here's the first, Store Street Espresso. It's right round the corner from work and a great place to chill out at lunch time and get that kick for the afternoon. Compared with the other independent coffee shops in the area (Wild & Wood/Lantana/Tapped & Packed) the interior's minimal and light which is great. Anyway coffee's really good and so is the food.

Hands down my favourite pub in London. Go for the day.

My favourite library when I was a student, I still love to wander and look up to its Renaissance sculptures. 

A charming family-run restaurant offering a great selection of freshly made hand-rolled pasta. Delicious:p

British folk culture inspired pub. Head there on Sunday for a pint and a proper Northern roast.
