The Roundhouse was built as a steam-engine repair shed in 1846, and then became a warehouse before falling into disuse for 25 years and reopening as a performing arts venue in 1964 hosting acts like Jimi Hendrix, The Doors and Pink Floyd. It was redeveloped between 2004-2006 and is one of my favourite music venues in London; it’s a beautiful building, has a great sound and isn’t too huge so feels fairly intimate. Some highlights for me this year were The Flaming Lips, David Byrne & St.Vincent and the Timepiece installation by Conrad Shawcross.

I'm waiting for a vegetarian-friendly event to get the full dining experience, but in the meantime there's wine!

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

A beautiful old school bookshop, floor to ceiling photo books. Heaven.
