The Premises is cozy café attached to a recording studio in Hackney (frequented by Nina Simone, Al Green and Jarvis Cocker over the years.) Lovely people serve up tasty breakfasts and Turkish food in the evening.

A go to spot for me that is close to home! Place image not by me

No better breakfast in London, luckily just five minutes from my office.

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

There are many quirky book stores in London, but I really love the selection that Daunt Books have, they often have bespoke editions which you won't find in other book stores. Also, the people that work there are so helpful and knowledgable. I can never stop myself from walking in!
