If your a drinker, like a good Sunday roast or want a friendly place to chill. Here you go.

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)

If you've lived in North London then you probably know all about The Faltering Fullback and their legendary multi-level beer garden

East London shop where you can find nice pieces from independent artists, nice presents or home decoration.

The Sackler Crossing is part of a route through the 120 hectares of Kew Gardens, designed by John Pawson in 2006. Set low to the surface of the lake, it seems to float across the water.
