This independent cinema near Angel in North London is over 100 years old and has had several lives including hosting early Sex Pistol gigs. It now serves as my favourite place to watch films (along with the Rio in Dalson).

They describe themseleves as a 'village shop in the City' and sell everything 'typically english' you could dream of, from homemade scotch eggs to english meade, this tiny shop is the reason I cross the road early every morning, just to see what treats they've got in for the day.

Some places are better to be left a secret. This one e.g.

A+ little book store full of publications made by artists. So many beautiful and interesting books to choose from.

Very lovely bookshop with a fantastic selection of books, magazines, and indie zines. Nicely curated.
