A great place to wander get lost and and escape the city.

Great little cinema, hidden away in the basement of Aubin & Wills, London. Not exactly a fan of the brand but the cinema is pretty awesome. They show a variety of interesting films and have probably the comfiest seats including armchairs and sofas. Bit dear, but one of the best cinemas I've come across.

Every year I take my 25 year old mini on the London to Brighton run. The views from the start line are always worth the 4AM wake-up.

A gift from Kyoto - a beautiful hidden Japanese garden in Holland Park 

I felt in love with the giant glasshouse, it's a great place to draw.
