A lovely healthy cafe in portobello!

Not the most exciting place inside, but a lovely rooftop area which not all that many people seem to know about, 2 mins walk from Old St station. If it's packed then The Red Lion is just up the road.

Signature cocktails like "concrete", with actual chalk on it, food is good and the places has a small backyard garden. Recommend to try the food, as they are small tasty plates.

Proper old school boozer in Rotherhithe with a deck overlooking the Thames

Great comic shop that stocks small press, and everything else you'd expect to find. The kids section starts at early ages and has something all the way up.
