My all-time favourite place. Whitewashed ex-smokehouse where Fergus Henderson pioneered the resurgent interest in offal dishes. The restaurant is brilliantly unfussy, retaining lots of the smokehouse’s original features, and the food very British, making St. JOHN something of a London institution. The restaurant has a winery and bakery.

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.

One of my favourite record shop in London! The iconic Rough Trade, in the heart of Ladbroke Grove, just off Portobello Road.

Award-winning restaurant and creative hub. Introducing great chefs from a variety of countries and cuisines.

Best place to go for simple pasta dishes.
