Just above the Dorfman Theatre lobby at the National Theatre, is the entrance to the high-level walkway, a public walkway that overlooks the National Theatre props and scenic workshop. It's free and is a unique chance to get a glimpse of what happens backstage. I love popping in when I'm on the south bank, as you get a completely different sight each time, depending on which production the workshops are working on at the time.

Nice coffee around Soho. Very good vibes and nice space.

Choosing Keeping has a collection of rare, beautiful European, American and Japanese stationery. A stationery haven. 

Where 1984 of George Orwell got its inspiration from, the craziness of a real ministry of propaganda. 

Every year I take my 25 year old mini on the London to Brighton run. The views from the start line are always worth the 4AM wake-up.
