This is a completely unexpected scenario in the heart of Shoreditch. The entrance is seamless, a standard corner-shop-type with a narrow door, leading downstairs to a peculiar setting in the basement. The drinks are carefully selected and mixed. There is always something to experiment that doesn’t disappoint.

An excellent bookshop by Brick Lane, the interior design is incredible and the selection unexpected. A good place to get lost in!

Excellent gallery. It has big rooms which often feature large pieces and admission is free.

Best place to go for simple pasta dishes.

Quick, easy, cheap thai food. It's fairly new to me, but easily makes this list.
