One of those rarely found shops that inspires one to craft and creativity. A huge selection of high quality papers to print and draw on, to cut, fold, glue or just wrap presents with.

Natural wine bar and shop in east London with communal table and standing space. 

Get on the list for tickets and surprise someone who will appreciate the 'village of books' upstairs in particular.

Excellent Turkish bakery. I highly recommend their £2 gözleme.

Hotter than hell, but always a good night had. It can be whatever you want it to be - restaurant, pub, or club, has good outside space and rentable rooms, and plays an interesting mix of music to an interesting mix of people. The building is actually kinda beautiful too.
