If you've lived in North London then you probably know all about The Faltering Fullback and their legendary multi-level beer garden

Paul Rothe n Son has been there 120 years, bang in the middle of town. Hard to find a proper old-school deli in central London nowadays, n none more proper than this place.

 Great sourdough bread, beautiful pastries and Roman-style pizza slices. 

Since The Columbo Group took over The Jazz Cafe, it's become the best programmed venue in the city, focusing on jazz, soul, funk, disco and afrobeat.
