My favourite place to stay in London. If your room is facing the street, it will get loud on weekends. But you're staying in Shoreditch, so get out there and have fun!
A truly lovely cocktail bar. Stay away from the basic drinks and stick with the boozy stirred ones.
Gorgeous little lunch spot in King's Cross. Grab a table outside and order the tuna & avocado poke salad!
Low-key one of the best pubs in the area. The true hidden gem is the rooftop beer garden. Perfect for a lazy summer Sunday!
Lots of gorgeous flowers and plants on sale. The vendors will cut you a deal - succulents abound!
The most perfect place for afternoon tea. Cheaper than hotel options in town and infinitely more beautiful!
Don't bother with the queues for the upgraded ticket - just use your Oyster card. Absolutely worth the trip.
This place will have the gymnastics competition and the basketball gold medal game. In other words, it’s not a bad place to spend some quality time while at the Olympics.
This is where the marathon and cycling road race will begin & end. For Brits, this is where they hope countryman Mark Cavendish grabs gold.
Superb vinyl selection, keep an eye out for in store gigs, many of which come free worth the purchase of the artist's latest release.
Never forget the feeling I had the first time I stepped into this place. True love. The building itself is the top reason to visit, followed closely by the eclectically curated merchandise and brands.
One of the best restaurants in London. Excels at traditional British food. Lovely wine selection all pairs very nicely with the dishes. I love the roasted marrow here.
Gorgeous cafe by the river. The Millie's breakfast special is a must and freshly squeezed blood orange juice. Sun throughout the morning.
A small contemporary gallery: must-visit in London. They change their ehxibitions often and they are always thought-provoking.
An intimate underground speakeasy-style cocktail bar. Grab a seat at the bar and order the Red Crook.
