A great place for an informal lunch or dinner while in East London. It’s one of Nuno Mendes’ projects and it is housed in the impressive Town Hall at Bethnal Green. We filmed with Mendes in his kitchen when the restaurant first launched.

Great night walks.

I didn’t know it existed until I moved to Brixton. Brockwell Park has been a revelation to me, it’s beautiful with many secrets. Check out the outdoor theatre in the summer up by the old house - Midsummer Night’s Dream last year on a midsummer’s night was astoundingly good.

One or two screenings a day, a few days a week; less is more at Close Up. The library is a great resource too, for work or pleasure.

There's room for anyone who appreciates architecture, ideas and craftsmanship in these four interlocking houses.
