Open until late night.  Make sure to sit down for the best hand pulled noodles

A perfect place for any occasion - or no occasion at all - every table feels like the best one.

The Almeida, in Islington, is a small theatre with big influence. It's an intimate place to discover groundbreaking theatre and get up close to some of Britain's leading actors. The cafe/bar across has a constantly-changing tasty menu, relaxed atmosphere and free wifi. Open all day and great place to spend time even if you're not going to catch a production.

I felt in love with the giant glasshouse, it's a great place to draw.

My favourite no-frills Malaysian restaurant and takeaway hidden away in a basement. Expect to queues for up to 30–40min, but well worth the wait.
