Lovely space in Southbank. Interesting events and exhibitions. I really like the surroundings as well, especially during sunny days. Walk around and then have a rest drinking facing the river.

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

Nice coffee around Soho. Very good vibes and nice space.

Contemporary art gallery always showcasing interesting artists. Area is great and building is top

The second coffee shop has to be Kaffeine. Having only recently come across this one, I was certainly impressed and they may even have the best coffee I've had, since a short stay in Portland, Oregon.
