Italian expresso bar

Mozzino, Carnaby Street

An absolute gem just off Carnaby Strret, Mozzino serves delicious Union coffee, divine home baked cakes, and freshly made, Italian inspired sandwiches with a laid back style. Suffice to say that chilling out is a top priority.

Quirky hair salon in Clapton

Blue Tit, Clapton

A unisex hair salon with a difference, from Blue Tit’s environmentally friendly hair products to the rustic yet homely decor, this is our go-to for a cut and finish. On your second visit, (we know you’ll want to come back again) be sure to check out their other salon in Dalston.

South London festival

Elefest, Elephant and Castle

The first weekend of October plays host to a cheap, brilliant weekend festival with pop-up cinema, ping pong, street food, live acts and bands, including a performance from UK beat boxing champion Reeps One.

Vietnamese lunch spot

Chao, Whitecross Market

This authentic, cheap and cheerful Vietnamese lunch spot will feed you well for less than a fiver. Serving unrivalled Ban Mi baguettes, delicate glass noodle salads and delicious spring rolls, Chao makes us wish we all worked in East London!

Classic independent cinema

Everyman Cinemas, Hampstead

The five Everyman cinemas in London help to keep the magic of film watching alive, but this cosy cinema in the heart of Hampstead, with its luxurious bar perfect for grabbing some pre-film food and wine, might just be our favourite.
