If they only could mend me like they mend my shoes. A three generation family business with its origin on Cyprus via Fifth Avenue, New York. They can do magic. I have been going there since I moved to London 12 years ago. One day soon I am going to have them make me a brand new pair of brogues. I will design the holes.

All-day cafe, restaurant and grocery store selling seasonal organic fruit and vegetables.

Beautiful minimalist Japanese ceramics.

Open until late night.  Make sure to sit down for the best hand pulled noodles
