Excellent breads & pastries, including their famous sourdough & doughnuts!

best family run sushi i can find in London.  Not flashy but that not the point.  Its a small honest run place.  Its great.

Very lovely bookshop with a fantastic selection of books, magazines, and indie zines. Nicely curated.

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

A treasure trove in the The City of London. The Archive of London. Strongrooms hold kilometres of shelving; boxes of matter that has somehow been catalogued and categorised in a traceable manner by the public, for academic, genealogical and other research. This beautiful book is from a box on Epping Forest. On the same visit, I looked through photographs of Blitz singsongs in Bethnal Green Underground station, 1980s anti-Thatcher / pro-GLC gig posters and paper concertina optical models of the Crystal Palace.
