Favorite pub in East London. The food is good, as well. Nice to go in the evening after a stroll through London fields or the Broadway market shops

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

The best live jazz band I ever heard was at a packed out night in Brilliant Corners. I was happy to be squashed.

Being an East London boy at heart I am partial to an occasional fix of café culture. Pellici's has been running since the start of the last century, to which me, my father and my father's fathers have all enjoyed its mix of tasty Italian/London grub and energetic atmosphere. If you're visiting, make sure you drop by, as it will provide a valuable, forever-depleting education into what East London is really all about.

One of a trillion reasons Brixton is the best.
