Book store on Broadway Market

A go to spot for me that is close to home! Place image not by me

Slightly biased as this is where I live, but Stoke Newington is great place to spend lazy saturday / sunday afternoons getting sloshed with friends. There are 10 + pubs within walking distance who all are great places for one reason or another. I'll pick out the White Hart for its huge beer garden...

An obvious choice but no 'best of London' list is complete without the Barbican

Stationery, homewares and a few clothes. All simple classics.
