Not been in many years, but spent a large part of my childhood watching people row and sail back and forth. It freezes over in winter and in February 1893, Jack Selby drove a coach and four horses across the reservoir.

One of my favourite record shop in London! The iconic Rough Trade, in the heart of Ladbroke Grove, just off Portobello Road.

Mediterranean food in our cool and laid back cafe

Choosing Keeping has a collection of rare, beautiful European, American and Japanese stationery. A stationery haven. 

Lovely Japanese restaurant, secluded spot next to the canals. Amazing on sunny day
