citylikeyou — Harringtons — London by James Davies

London / Restaurant

A traditional pie, mash and liquor shop in south west London that is run by the latest generation of the Harrington family who opened it in 1908. It looks like it hasn’t changed since the day it first opened but it’s a place with absolutely no pretentiousness to it at all, this is unapologetically working class and down to earth. If you want an overpriced cappuccino and wi-fi there’s a Cafe Nerro down the road but if you want fantastic traditional London food you won’t find anywhere better in the city. They even do pie and mash to take-away. I just wish it wasn’t closed on Sundays.

Address
Harringtons, 3 Selkirk Road, London, United Kingdom

London / Cinema

NFT1 Films are well selected but if by chance what is on screen does not suit your taste then the seats are very comfortable to nap in.

London / Restaurant

Lots of traditional charming country pubs around the area, but it can a bit hit and miss. A really friendly one with amazing food (and a unusually large veggie selection…) is the Beehive in Epping Green; close to the Great Wood. It's friendly enough you dare going there by yourself with the paper and are not at the mercy of local rubbernecks ("the rubberneck" = person who stares at strangers without any sign of guilt)

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