Speciality coffee in De Beauvoir that tops London's coffee lists. Batch brew, big energy.

Table football, cold beers and zero pretension. The best bar in London, apparently. Fair.

Sea Containers, South Bank
Top 50 Cocktail Bars UK 2026

Valette Street, Hackney
A gold-ceilinged ex-servicemen's club with gigs, parties and pints. Hackney's sparkliest.

Beak Street, Soho
National Restaurant Awards 2026
Tomos Parry's live-fire temple. The spider crab omelette alone is worth the scramble for a booking.

Rye Lane, Peckham
Bao for brunch. Hash brown bao, specifically. Peckham, you've done it again.


Leather Lane
Best Coffee Shops UK 2026
Leather Lane's coffee institution with its own barista school. The OG, still showing everyone how.

City of London
City coffee bar that makes the commute bearable. Quick, clean, criminally good espresso.

Top 50 Cocktail Bars UK 2026
Taxidermy, hip-hop and a daily-changing menu. The East End's favourite devilish nightcap.

Denman Street, Soho
No.1 Top 50 Gastropubs 2026

Fulham's Michelin-starred pub: game, venison and that famous Scotch egg. A Top 50 Gastropub that still feels like a local.

Micawber Street, Islington
Marvellously minimal bar tucked off City Road with an artsy events programme and drinks to match. Small, cool, worth the hunt.
