The Coffee House is definitely off the beaten track: Located in the Bermuda Triangle between Shoreditch, Dalston & Angel, at the corner of Downham Road and De Beauvoir Road we found a cafe that is perfect for a tea or coffee on a lazy afternoon. A few years ago the main attraction of Beavertown would have been the Beauvoir Estate, [...]
The Blueberry Bar and Kitchen is one of those signs that Paul Street is changing. A few years ago the main attraction in the street was a strip club… These days, Google Campus is around the corner, forming part of the silicon roundabout and hip places are popping up out of nowhere. The Blueberry Bar feels a bit like a [...]
One of the first thing you’ll notice about the Curious Yellow Kafe will be its curious yellow door. It’s worth exploring what’s behind that door when you pass it on Pitfield street. Finding the cafe wasn’t really obvious and even if we live in the area, we had to come across all the excellent reviews on the internet first before [...]
Burger Bear Tom believes in principles when it comes to burgers. He resents medium or well done patties and is happy to argue it out with anyone who does not believe that burgers should be red and juicy inside. Add to that his home grown bacon jam and you get one of the best street food burgers we have eaten [...]
Behind an unpretentious entrance on Clerkenwell Road we found a nice little diner: Giant Robot. Originally searching for a decent burger in Farringdon we were drawn by the prospect of the ‘Royale Wit Cheese’ and wanted to find out if it lives up to its Pulp Fictionesk hype. Giant Robot literally takes you underground with the main area in front [...]
The ingredients for a good blog post are simple: a good idea, excellent coffee, comfy seating, a bit of privacy and free WiFi. However, few places offer all of the above. You will often find that the places with the good coffee are busy or that the comfy seats come with a lack of privacy. To make your life easier [...]
Ozone Coffee is one of those “down-under-showing-London-how-it’s-done” places. They combine excellent coffee with good food, hip interior design and an in-house coffee roastery. I remember the days when the only attraction on Leonard’s street was the Dragon Bar (now on Shoreditch High Street) and the “best” coffee in the area was the Nero on City Road. These days you can [...]
The Counter Cafe claims to be London’s “best kept secret”. I’m not so sure if that’s still true, but I have to agree that it takes a bit of research and scouting skills to find the Counter Cafe. Hackney Wick isn’t exactly the place you chose for a Sunday stroll because of its beautiful view. So it is no surprise [...]
The first thing that comes to people’s mind when someone talks about a Japanese restaurant is “sushi”. Well, if you’re looking for sushis at one of the Abenos, you’re in the wrong place and you can go back to Wasabi! The Abeno and Abeno Too restaurants are the Okonomiyaki specialists in central London. We came across Abeno Too one evening while [...]
Even if you know the Whitecross Street Market, you might not know Fortune Street Park. It’s tucked away behind the Two Brewers pub and mainly known for its primary school. The only reason why we came across it is because of some rumours on the market that a guy who makes some of the best coffee in the area set up [...]

The Amersham Arms used to be my local Pub when I lived in Brockley for a few years. And even when you don’t live South it’s definitely worth a visit. Run by the same people who run Camden’s The Lock Tavern the pub oozes art student hipster bourgeoisie. It has the unique ability to transform itself from an ordinary pub into a [...]
Until last year if you would have asked me what a roller derby was, I would have asked you to repeat the question. For me, there were only two categories of roller skating: the inline skates made for speed and the roller skates for those who have more of an aesthetic approach like ice skating. Then came the day where, [...]
Every Saturday Broadway Market opens its stalls to the world and offers a mixture of fresh food and quirky items. We love walking there along Regent’s canal on a Saturday afternoon. You can buy everything from the Vietnamese Iced coffee to the ingredients for your Sunday Roast. We particularly love the German stall offering grilled bratwurst and the French supermarket, L’Eau a [...]
