citylikeyou — The Beehive — London by Kris Hofmann

London / Restaurant / Pub

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)

Address
The Beehive, Epping Green, London, United Kingdom

London / Pub

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.

London / Cemetery

My No.1 favourite graveyard in London. Calming, overgrown and a little bit spooky :)

London / Restaurant

Healthy vegan alternatives to the classic Italian style pizza. Plus Lovely vegan soups and salads!

London / Cafe

Paul Rothe n Son has been there 120 years, bang in the middle of town. Hard to find a proper old-school deli in central London nowadays, n none more proper than this place. Great jacket potatoes, soup, sandwiches. It looks the part too. And the service is always great. Try and avoid the lunch queue.

London / Place

Not long in the custody of the National Trust, designed by Philip Webb and commissioned by William Morris, in 1859. Tucked away in Beckenham. William and Jane Morris only lived here for five years; not a happy time of their marriage. But there is humility, authority and even bite, in the domestic scale. The rigorous, holistic design-hand at work belies any sense of souvenir shop Morris-lite. The vegetable garden in late Summer is the place to be.
