Misty mornings on the river beat the rest... this pic was taken in February on the Walthamstow marshes.

Whipps Cross boating lake is a true hidden East end gem. Located on Whipps Cross flats midway between Walthamstow and Wanstead.

Very lovely bookshop with a fantastic selection of books, magazines, and indie zines. Nicely curated.

There are libraries full of screaming children and strip lighting, and then there are libraries like The London Library. Whenever I’m there it’s hard to believe I’m not caught inside a wonderful dream, because everything about this place is so perfect as to be almost unreal.

J+A is a hidden and unpretentious café/ bar just off busy Clerkenwell Road - with outdoor seating!
