If you want a peaceful day out of the busy city, Highgate doesn’t really feel like London. The cemetery is interesting and peaceful, there’s a tour of the old half which is definitely worth the money. Karl Marx, among others are buried there.

Great food and atmosphere in Brixton. Try their Vegan Viking pizza: Cashew cheese, pistachio pesto, red chillies, rocket and mint or their Cauliflower cheese arancini. And who doesn't like a bottomless brunch in the weekends?
