Quick, easy, cheap thai food. It's fairly new to me, but easily makes this list.

Being an East London boy at heart I am partial to an occasional fix of café culture. Pellici's has been running since the start of the last century, to which me, my father and my father's fathers have all enjoyed its mix of tasty Italian/London grub and energetic atmosphere. If you're visiting, make sure you drop by, as it will provide a valuable, forever-depleting education into what East London is really all about.

Simple, Authentic and Delicious dishes made with excellent produce. Makes you feel like you are on holiday. 

Healthy vegan alternatives to the classic Italian style pizza. Plus Lovely vegan soups and salads!

One of those rarely found shops that inspires one to craft and creativity. A huge selection of high quality papers to print and draw on, to cut, fold, glue or just wrap presents with.
