A small place to eat with great vegetarian/vegan food just off Camden High Street. This place does an amazing buffet at a great price, as well as serving reasonably priced tea and juices.

Event space and studios with eclectic group of musicians, artsist, DJs primarily around jazz, world, folk, experimental music 

Maybe an obvious choice, but the Barbican is always good. My favourite space in there is the curve gallery, last time I went was for Cory Arcangel's 'Beat the Champ'. I love the architecture, although not many people do. I think it was voted 'London's ugliest building' in 2003.

Quiet outdoor garden with bar and pizza meters away from the busy and vibrant Dalston main roads.

Since The Columbo Group took over The Jazz Cafe, it's become the best programmed venue in the city, focusing on jazz, soul, funk, disco and afrobeat.
