The best things in London can be spied from this seat. Fact.

Natural wine bar and shop in east London with communal table and standing space. 

Outside of the major players (Tate, V&A, RA) this is probably the best programmed gallery in London

Key community arts centre, near to Shoreditch High St station. The cinema is handy and the music programming is solid, but they also host a variety of other interesting nights, most notably Jawdance, London’s (arguably) best spoken word night

Great beer selection, good food, and the big screen in their beer garden makes the Abbey Tavern my favourite place in London to watch sport
