Best Udon in London, with an exceptional specials board. The head chef Shuko Oda opened the first restaurant in Soho 11 years ago, and they now have restaurants in the City and on Broadway market. Great for kids, our son loves the Mackerel udon.

A charming family-run restaurant offering a great selection of freshly made hand-rolled pasta. Delicious:p

A very good selection of non-fiction, essays, and rare books. The Japanese book collection is gorgeous!

Great place to work and even better coffee. The roastery at the ground floor gives off a nice scent that fills the whole space. Sit near the bar at the kitchen area and look at all the delicious stuff the chefs whip up - and try their V60!

Misty mornings on the river beat the rest... this pic was taken in February on the Walthamstow marshes.
