This place is full of vintage stores, curry houses and streetart. Good to walk after a visit to chi-chi Columbia Road, en route to Spitalfields Market.

Best Indian restaurant in London. The lamb chops! The naan! Everything! There is always a queue. Get into it.

independent cinema showing a mix of independent, arthouse and general release films. Kids club Saturdays and parent + child showings midweek. You get to change nappies on the stage. Fun times ;)

Steaks on an open grill. With chips and salad. And that's pretty much it. Book well in advance.

Great Japanese ramen place with good value homemade noodles and very tasty chilli sauce. There's another branch on Mare Street if you can't get in here...

Great place to go (with or without kiddos) to see how London living has changed through the years. Stunning building with gorgeous gardens and great cafe.

It's a special place. An original, beautifully preserved music hall, really evocative of debauched nights past. Lovely cocktail bar, best to check in advance what's playing, but definitely worth a ... Erfahre mehr

One of a number of excellent restaurants along this strip of Kingsland Road, it's mediterranean sharing food and ace cocktails. Mid range, expect to pay about £25 per head with a glass of wine.

A disused piece of land utterly transformed into an urban oasis. Bring the kids for a stone baked pizza and a craft class while you enjoy a cafetiere of freshly pressed coffee. A local GEM.

COFFEE! and the best boiled eggs and soldiers :)

Shamazing. Limited number of tables available to book, otherwise you just walk in and take your chances. Worth waiting for. Sharing is caring.

Best for a hearty breakfast and the most delightful service. No lattes here, but great filter coffee.

This place is home to London's hottest restaurant pop ups. At the moment, it's portuguese. Lovely vibe, good for big numbers, great beers on tap. Enjoy.

If you can get a booking, take it. You'll be dining with all the coolest folk in town. Grown ups, not one for the kids. Shellfish a speciality.

Vegetarian Indian food, made and served by a mother and son team. It's fresh and delicious. White Rabbit across the road is good too. But totally different.
