This is one of my favourite places in the whole of London. Cernamic, run by Nam and Susi, they offer some fantastic workshops and at a very affordable price. They have really cultivated a welcoming environment, full of lovely people and a place to share and recieve knowledge.

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

This is over the road from my house and kind of feels like being transported back in time to the goth night I used to go to when I was 15. But much much bigger with much more entertaining outfits, cages, lasers and… BBQ.

Best place to go for simple pasta dishes.

An obvious choice but no 'best of London' list is complete without the Barbican
