It paces a Londoner's life. When the tide is low I like wandering on the "beach" and discovering tunnels that take me to the centre of the Earth.

My favourite library when I was a student, I still love to wander and look up to its Renaissance sculptures. 

I trust owner and director Tamsin Clark completely with what I could and should be reading.

A walled secret garden, the Physic Garden is like a time capsule, founded in 1673 to allow apprentices of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London to study the healing properties of plants, it is now a living museum. Tours are offered by volunteers with immense knowledge of botany and the cultural history of the garden or visitors can wander the grounds alone and spot odd and fascinating plants such as the mystical Mandrake.

Event space and studios with eclectic group of musicians, artsist, DJs primarily around jazz, world, folk, experimental music
