The thing I love most about London is the juxtaposition of urban and rural, and nowhere is this better illustrated than in Lea Valley Park. A genuine wilderness where I’ve seen everything from ponies, to a rogue Costco outlet, and all less than 20 minutes from my front door.

Wood-floored shop with a museum-like vibe selling vintage men's fashions, footwear and accessories.

It is a music store in Brick Lane. You can spend there the perfect Sunday afternoon, listening to lot of new good music, thumbing through cool books while relaxing in their café. Oh, and the Rough trade photo-booth is a must if you go there!

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

The best bacon sandwich you will ever eat. Pretty much fills you up for the whole day.
