Basically my favourite restaurant in all of London – this XinJiang-style is a hidden gem for the adventurous among you! Love the potato strips and, of course, the Xinjiang noodles.
Do keep in mind it's a cash only place, though!

Nice and quirky coffee shop nearby. The pastries are great, and so is the coffee. And if that's not your thing, they also serve a local beer.

Drinks & Nightlife
OK, this is a lovely pub – Brits certainly wouldn't call it a bar!
Set in a an old Tudor building, it has all the charm of an English pub you'd ever want. And the food is also really good!

Bit of a fun one, this bar lives on a boat docked along the Albert Embankment. It's a great place to take a seat with views over the Thames (and Parliament!).

This theatre has more of a community feel to it than the Old Vic. It includes a nice cafe and interesting building. Hint, check out the balcony on the second floor if it's not already full!

Parks & Nature
OK, I'm not sure how much I'd count this as nature, but it's a great place to go for a run or play some football. In fact, it was one of Bob Marley's favourite places to play a bit of footie when he lived in London.
