Classic independent cinema in the heart of Dalston. Good vibes and films. Support your local cinema!

Probably my favourite building in the city, and right in the heart of it. There are always interesting events happening here, across art and music, and you can drink in the courtyard during summer

Outside of the major players (Tate, V&A, RA) this is probably the best programmed gallery in London

The Bun House is one of my favourite places in Peckham. It’s a local pub and art project space. The sense of community and the warm heartedness of everyone, especially Mick (the owner!) are truly genuine. Various events, performances and exhibitions populate the project room, the pub’s drinking zone and the outdoor rooftop terrace at the back.

Quick, easy, cheap thai food. It's fairly new to me, but easily makes this list.
