Very trendy coffee shop, chill vibe, with an excellent flat white. They also have Crosstown doughnuts.
Lots of options on the veg menu. The soufflé Suisse was delicious, as was the treacle tart. Don’t worry much about the dress code—some people were pretty casual and some quite dressed up.
Stopped in for Sunday roast—the vegan nut roast was excellent, and the service was really friendly.
All veggie, yet meat-eaters won't even notice the lack of animal bits. Exceptional food for the price. Haven't been upstairs in a while, but used to be decorated with exquisite Victorian porn.
Some unique brunch options in addition to the standards—the ricotta and spinach gnudi was quite different and it was very very good.
The original Hawksmoor, for most of its six-year existence a boisterous one-floor restaurant and bar, has fitted out and opened its cellar as a dedicated bar. And it's great. Leia mais.
Have a wander down Brick Lane on a Sunday and take in the colourful sights and eclectic smells. All sorts of little stalls to nibble away at, alongside vintage fashion and unusual bric a brac
U can find nice handmade stuff there, some clothes made by young designers, unusual jewels. Actually market works on the week, but weekends are better time to visit it...
This underground headquarters was Winston Churchill’s command post during World War Two (even though he used to insist on going on to the roof to watch the bombing raids!).
This must-see museum houses over 160,000 portraits of famous Brits (think Mick Jagger, Queen Victoria) dating back to the 16th century. It also is home to a trove of Cecil Beaton images.
The museum is located in the former Royal Bethlem Hospital for the mentally ill (from where the term ‘bedlam’ comes). The iconic guns at the front are 15 inch naval cannon, both used in action in WW2.
Fascinating museum hidden on a side street—refreshingly uncrowded. Get a map or guidebook before venturing in to get the most of the experience; Sir John's collection isn't all that well-labeled.
The V&A is the world’s largest museum of decorative art and design and holds 4.5 million objects. Henry Cole, the museum’s first director, printed the world’s first Christmas card in 1843.
Impressive English art + contemporary international art permanent collection, free "Late at Tate" events (1st Friday of each month, 6:00-10:00pm). Notice the bombing traces on the exterior walls
The artichoke Wellington was delicious, and the Christmas pudding was a real treat.
New coffee stand at the market! Friendly staff and good coffee. Prices like everywhere else in the area.
Great coffee and cakes. Also a social enterprise so your flat white money is going to a good place.
