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

This is a very quiet Polish Club, which acts in sharp contrast with busy Exhibition Road.

Everyone who works at Daunt Books seems to have the answer to any question you might have, watching my large dog carefully navigate their narrow aisles is always fun too.
