Long standing late night cafe  

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

Fantastic selection of magazines ! 

The best things in London can be spied from this seat. Fact.

If you want a peaceful day out of the busy city, Highgate doesn't really feel like London. The cemetery is interesting and peaceful, there's a tour of the old half which is definitely worth the money. Karl Marx, among others are buried there.
