An excellent bookshop by Brick Lane, the interior design is incredible and the selection unexpected. A good place to get lost in!

A spot that I've gone to time and time again for shoots for it's amazing architecture and greenery. Place image not by me

This is one of my favourite places in the whole of London. Cernamic, run by Nam and Susi, they offer some fantastic workshops and at a very affordable price. They have really cultivated a welcoming environment, full of lovely people and a place to share and recieve knowledge.

There's room for anyone who appreciates architecture, ideas and craftsmanship in these four interlocking houses.

Old townhouse style building set in front of juxtaposing high risers makes for an odd placement, but internally it's a quirky spectacle. One half is dedicated to the sale of antiques - anything from old door handles to hallways lined with hunting trophies. The other half is a relaxed bar and hidden gourmet dining area constructed of similar furnishings [all for sale too]. Even if you don't wish to spend £'s, a walk around the place is advised.
