my favourite place in the whole of London! if you are into brutalist architecture, then you will want to go! this place has everything: wonderful outside seating round a 'lake', coffee, fantastic Martini bar, restaurants, art gallery, concerts, theatre and cinema.. take the 56 bus, and in 20 minutes it takes you there! look up what is on, as they cater for ever artistic need!

a 15 minute walk from the flat. has high quality theatre, one of the best "off west end" theatres! they also have cheap tickets so you can grab a bargain. and so many restaurants on Upper Street to get a pre theatre dinner or post play drink!

Sightseeing

this is a must if, like me, you love all things botanical! Sunday's only until 3 or 4pm. lovely flower market where you can get everything at knock down prices. they also sell indoor and outdoor plants. the road itself is really interesting, with little boutique shops and pubs and cafes. you can get here either by walking 30 minutes or the overground or a bus. most stalls now take card payments, but it's best to go with cash just in case!

gastro pubs

local London pubs serving food
directly opposite the flat! has outside seating at the front and a great , cosy beer garden at the back (away from the road). Wednesday night they do "2 for 1" on their burgers, which is great value. they also have offers on cocktails at weekends. great for a nice drink in a local London boozer!

this is another great local pub about a 10 minute walk from the flat. the interior is really interesting. make sure you sit in the back of the pub and see the amazing ceiling. the bar staff should have a good understanding of the history of the pub. usual pub food, good quality. make sure you don't mind stuffed animal ornaments though! as you're likely to be sitting under one!

really cute pub. 10 minute walk from the flat. it's small though so it can get busy. it serves food, this changes a lot as it hosts pop up restaurants so check the website for who they are hosting.
