Drinks & Nightlife

It's only a few minutes from where I live, and it's really nice to stop there on the way home for a drink. They do lots of craft beers.

Sightseeing

It's probably the bridge with the best views of London. You can see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament on one side, and St. Paul's on the other. You also see the full curve of the river at this point.

Food Scene

It does good, affordable Thai food at night. You can get fry-ups for breakfast too, but I haven't tried those yet! This whole street is very lively - for example, Cubana is just next door for mojitos and Cuban street food

Very lively and very popular, with all kinds of different foods to choose from. Can be noisy, so better to go in a group.

Obviously, this is a long trek from where I live, but it is worth the trip. This is nothing like a manicured park, it feels wild, like you are truly in the country. Hampstead is also a nice part of the city, if a wee bit on the twee side.

Shopping

Nearest Tesco's supermarket to where I live. The shopping centre has certainly seen better days, but may be of interest to some because of its strong South American community

Entertainment & Activities

Because it offers membership for 10 pounds a year, and as a member you can see some films for just 1 pound! Also, because the programme is consistently excellent - fun, eclectic, intelligent. They know their stuff! Also, excellent location just off Leicester Square.
