Need some clean air or just a time-out? Kew Gardens is a short train ride away from the city centre but is provides you with space, greenery and and a small holiday for the lungs. The garden contain tropical glasshouses and interesting architecture, so it is a treat for both body and mind.

best family run sushi i can find in London.  Not flashy but that not the point.  Its a small honest run place.  Its great.

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

This is an amazing place for the summer when the water gets pretty warm or the winter if you are very brave. The only downside is that it can get very crowded in the Mixed pool but the men’s pool is normally quiet and it has a diving board.

An independent cinema in the heart of Kensal rise.
