Leila McAlister's grocery shop and café off Arnold Circus, Shoreditch. You can find the best of everything, from jars of horseradish to eggs and croissants.

Also the Queens back garden, these beautiful grounds are great for a Sunday stroll to see the pelicans or to feed the squirrels. Duck Island Cottage is worth a look too, a idyllic little cottage situated in the grounds which was specially built as the bird keepers home.

Nice place for a cake and coffee.

Excellent gallery. It has big rooms which often feature large pieces and admission is free.

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