Tate Modern can always be relied on for offering up interesting, challenging exhibits, housed in great architecture and with one of Londons best cultural bookstores. An ever reliable weekend hangout.

Open until late night.  Make sure to sit down for the best hand pulled noodles

An intimate live music venue in Dalston with lots of underground and experimental music you won't find anywhere else in London.

If you want to eat a good cake this is the place! They have so many cakes to choose from but the best one is the white chocolate cheesecake.
