I love living in cities with a river and the Thames is so wide! It is one of my favorite things about London.

Sit. Drink coffee. Buy Leica. Leave penniless.

J+A is a hidden and unpretentious café/ bar just off busy Clerkenwell Road - with outdoor seating!

The finest artisan Italian ice cream in the heart of London.

The Party Superstore was/is my absolute favourite London shop until it was bizarrely attacked and gutted during the summer London riots. They have been since adopted as a concession by the local Debenhams but you can still savour the full delights of the products and nonsense on line.
