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

It's really close to my house and one of my favourite pubs in London! (I even went before it was close to where I lived!) It is London's first cooperatively owned pubs and has lovely events and workshops, exercise classes and great parties, and good beer! It's lovely in the beer garden in the hot summer and equally great in the winter, next to a real fire.

Rotorino is a lovely little Italian, intimate but casual spot in East London. The food is great and when the weather is good - having your wine and pasta outside is nice.

Guinness bread!

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