It's a members-only library but you might be granted access with a research request. The writer's room is great but there's a few special, hidden corners among the bookshelves to tuck yourself away in.

The Premises is cozy café attached to a recording studio in Hackney (frequented by Nina Simone, Al Green and Jarvis Cocker over the years.) Lovely people serve up tasty breakfasts and Turkish food in the evening.

 Great sourdough bread, beautiful pastries and Roman-style pizza slices. 

Everything you expect from a neighbourhood café and more.

The best seafood restaurant on the South Coast.
