A great Victorian-Baroque inspired bar with its latest residency in Dalston. Loved the décor and the original cocktails - and we recommend the Sunday roast too! http://j.mp/Vcickh
This is an important palaeolithic site. Artefacts were found from the ice-age period when Stoke Newington was a small settlement by the river.
The British Museum began from the collection of naturalist Sir Hans Sloane which he left to the nation on his death in 1753. Now it houses 7 million objects including more than 100 Egyptian mummies.
The gallery opened in 1824 to exhibit 38 paintings purchased by the government. The UK national collection is relatively small because unlike in Europe, the monarch’s collection was not nationalised.
The Bankside Power Station was built as a ‘cathedral of power’ in 1963, but closed in 1981. It reopened as one of Europe’s finest modern art galleries in 2000. The Turbine Hall is 35m high.

The last word in factional conceit, 221b’s study is a loving Victorian recreation and a splendid photo op. Read more.
Big Ben refers to the 13 ton bell in the clock tower of Westminster Palace. Opinion is divided as to whether it was named after the then Commissioner of Works, or a famous prize-fighter of the time.
While the daily changing of the guards is a tourist magnet, this majestic palace is a London icon and home of the Queen. You know that she is in residence when the flag is flying above the palace!
Made famous, of course, by The Beatles. Don't forget to walk over the crossing and savour the moment.
If you get a chance to go to a Garden Party then Buckingham Palace gardens is great! The walks around, hidden surprises and rolling grass really are fantastic!
If you’re into Ramen then you’re gonna love this place. These guys know a thing or two about boiling bones. Oh and the guy behind it all is Ross Shonhan, former head chef at Zuma and Nobu, nuff said! Read more.
The pornstar martinis are amazing. Especially when they're half price during happy hour!
Kopapa is a smart, Kiwi-style café. The team behind it is the same which runs Providores, the best-known of them being top Kiwi chef Peter Gordon, who came to fame as chef at the Sugar Club. Read more.
Our personal fave is the Dishoom grilled lobster tail cooked with ginger, chilli, lime and coriander. And everything washed down with a passion fruit Diwali Bellini or traditional Lassi. Read more.
If burgers are your thing, then Byron is the only way forward. Without doubt the hosts of the best onion rings *known to man*, the Monterey Jack cheeseburger is a fave... Ps. Milkshakes.
Fabulous value, unique thali with a constantly changing range of street food. Lovely decoration and atmosphere too...
It's really easy to while away the hours on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon here. Great people watching. Note: they stop serving food between 5-6pm - it's just coffee/drinks/desserts.
In this colourful antique and flee market with over 2000 stalls on Saturdays, there are so many wonderful bargain finds to be made!
"Tayyabs' long-marinated grilled lamb chops remain one of life's great savoury pleasures - a complex hit of sweet 'n' smoky, hot 'n' spicy flavour, edged with a crisp, blackened strip of fat..." Read more.
The Sloppy Joe is the best thing on the menu, followed closely by the New Yorker. The tots are yummy too (mini hash browns). 1.5 hour turnaround time for tables. Quite cramped. Get there early.

Regent's Park is one of the city's most popular open spaces, covering 410 acres. Attractions run from the animal odours and noises of London Zoo to the enchanting Open Air Theatre. Read more.
The beer selection is now well noted. But we're also fans of the tiny beer yard - get the right seat, and the right beer, and you're sitting in a classic northern pub...in Kentish Town.
Best Japanese restaurant in London for the low prices. Don't get teishoku/sushi, get 2/3 dishes each from the mains list and eat tapas style like the natives. It's just like being in Japan. Oishiiiii! Read more.
I agree with Corey D the dead hippie burger is amazing. This may just become my new favourite place
Great Fish and chips especially when you need a pit stop from shopping . My fav is the homemade tartar sauce and chips .Great decor and smilie staff . Read more.
Great place! Get here early or you won't have a place at a table. Kakuni highly recommended (pork belly cooked in cider!!) Japanese take on fish'n'chips excellent also.
Pizza will take ages to arrive but it will be worth the wait. Both laksa chicken and spicy salami were brilliant and goes well with their IPA.
The menu here is precise with just six pizzas available and astonishingly cheap; the most expensive pizza, with chorizo and mozzarella, costs less than £6. It really is a delight to come here. Read more.
Awesome London branch of the Milan bakery. Pretty much everything is yummy, best to come during the day when you have a chance of being able to get a seat. Always lots of Italians, a good sign surely.
No one waits too long to be fed here, and once seated you will be treated to some fast, friendly service. Trust me, your pizzas will materialise almost immediately - as if you were on a sci-fi set. Read more.
The burgers are mouth-wateringly good (and cheap), made with Ginger Pig meat (text book), cheese, shredded lettuce, beef tomato, a pickle and the accompanying crinkle cut chips sound just right... Read more.

Treat yourself to a pint at the "Welly" - skip the first floor it's always rammed. Try going upstairs for seating!
Lovely interior; deceptive from the street. Looks/feels posh w/out excessive prices. Not for the squeamish, with taxidermy everywhere.
Al fresco dining out by the river in the summer, warm fires indoors in the winter, and a river terrace and posh indoor dining all year 'round
Try the cheese board. Or the roast beef on crusty bread from behind the bar. Best £1 you'll ever spend.
At 1.5 miles long and about a mile wide, Hyde Park is one of the largest of London's Royal Parks. The Joy of Life fountain is a popular spot for splashing around in when the weather heats up. Read more.
Best burritos in London! Get one with guacamole and pico de gallo to make it completely perfect!
Go for the Dead Hippie or the Green Chili Cheeseburger, they are made from pure love.
Trojka's replacement is a fresher, more up-market dining experience. The breakfast was good, the coffee so much better than its predecessor, though felt rushed to leave table.
Love coffee? Get a marocchino. Hardly any milk, v grainy, Turkish / Moroccan style coffee. Yum!
offers a completely new modern European menu each and every day to just 35 lucky diners (think hearty, carnivorous dishes, such as grilled ox tongue, saddle of wild hare and lamb pie). Read more.

Great bar. Brilliant collection of ever changing drinks and a friendly (if mad) bar staff

Take a former Chinatown gambling den, add an all-star bar cast and some legendary dim sum, et voila, you have Opium Cocktail Bar and Dim Sum Parlour. This place is epic with three floors... Read more.

If you are in a group, forget the £20 lobster/roll/burger. Instead go for the juicy big lobsters from 'The Catch' specials board.
Interesting spot. I'd recommend the Apothecary bar. Well made drinks and old school decor.
