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).

The best seafood restaurant on the South Coast.

Wood-floored shop with a museum-like vibe selling vintage men's fashions, footwear and accessories.

Amazing small plates restaurant near Newington Green in a old car showroom. 

The most beautiful contemporary gallery in London aptly named White Cube, the space is an artwork in itself. Its portfolio of artists and exhibition programme is top of the league, always presented as with style and grace as the space itself. Photograph by Paul Riddle
