A lovely healthy cafe in portobello!

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

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.

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

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