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

Coffee roastery, café, pizzeria and cocktail bar inside an old warehouse just around the corner from Broadway Market.

A great place to start the day if you are in South London is Federation Coffee in Brixton Village. The food is great and so is the coffee. This is a very chilled place where you can get both and indoor and outdoor experience (even though the whole place is under the Village roof).

Outside of the major players (Tate, V&A, RA) this is probably the best programmed gallery in London

An excellent bookshop by Brick Lane, the interior design is incredible and the selection unexpected. A good place to get lost in!
