I rediscovered this place recently having not been for years and now I keep returning. The geological galleries are my favourites.

The power station is a ghost like ruin that stands on the banks of the Thames. Its right next to the train tracks rolling out of London to the rest of the south of England. I pass it every time I go back to where I grew up and every time I arrive back in London. It has become symbolic with arriving and departing, a constant in my life. I used to joke and refer to it as my lover - seeing me off and welcoming me home.

A special place, a shop which is like a museum, worth popping in to feel the humanness and heritage of London. And if you are looking for rope, compass or any sailing supplies, this is the place. There is no shop like it.

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

Award-winning restaurant and creative hub. Introducing great chefs from a variety of countries and cuisines.
