Where 1984 of George Orwell got its inspiration from, the craziness of a real ministry of propaganda. 

As a keen runner, running through Greenwich Park and on to the river side I see the Thames Barrier, which is not only the worlds second-largest movable flood barrier (after the Oosterscheldekering in the Netherlands) but is also an iconic site on what is fast becoming a recognised stretch for developers including the 02 and Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication.

Choosing Keeping has a collection of rare, beautiful European, American and Japanese stationery. A stationery haven. 

It has such a special vibe, it is very near Columbia Road and Broadway Market It is surprising to find a farm in the middle of the city! Very recommended having English Breakfast there :)

Lovely pub/cafe. Great atmosphere, best to sits outside
