Stoney Street
London SE1 1TL
UK
+44 20 7407 1002

Categories: Markets, Market Stalls

Neighbourhood: London Bridge

An impressive collection of stalls and counters teeming with fresh fruit, veg, meats and cheese. You can also buy some fish sandwiches and lunch items in some of the boutiques - I even stumbled across one counter that was selling about 30 different…More »

An absolutely absurd amount of stuff is crammed into this unique and bustling collection of stalls and shops. Like, anything you can possibly imagine. A sampling of the items I picked up:

3. Leake Street Tunnel

London SE1 7NN
UK

Category: Local Flavour

Neighbourhoods: Southwark, Waterloo

4/26/2009 First to Review

Hands down the most elusive and exciting of all my London adventures!

Of all the suggestions I received from locals about what to visit as a first time tourist, the Leake Street Tunnel/Cans Festival came most highly recommended. It's a Banksy-curated…More »

Category: Music & DVDs

Neighbourhoods: Brick Lane, Shoreditch

4/22/2009

When I arrived at Rough Trade I was completely tuckered out. Ready for a nap. Yet I still somehow managed to spend 2+ hours browsing the store and £110 on 7" records and other music. The prices for vinyl are a bit ridiculous £1-3 and in Canada those…More »

What a wonderful, bustling and classy restaurant in the heart of Soho! When we arrived, the place was overflowing with people busily mowing down on fragrant foods but that didn't stop us from taking our spot in line and waiting our turn to have a…More »

I visited London this past Fall for a week and have been DREAMING about the Red Lentil Curry & Rice Bowl I enjoyed at Food For Thought ever since. No exaggeration - it was THAT good. (see pics)

Wonderfully creative menu that's constantly changing with…More »

London W1T 1DU
UK
+44 20 7631 3319

Category: Vegetarian

Neighbourhood: Fitzrovia

4/26/2009 First to Review

Sagar came highly recommended last year on Happy Cow, shortly before Yelp invaded London, as a hotspot for authentic South Indian vegetarian cuisine.

I was more than eager to try out Indian food in London proper as I had heard so many good things…More »

100%.

Amazing. I couldn't believe it. Coming from a city where it costs $20 to get into any gallery, let alone a gallery that houses works by Monet, Rothko, Matisse, Warhol and Picasso, I was floored by this fact.

The Tate…More »

I saw Hot Chip play one of two nights here and my tickets were for the general admission balcony area (tickets can be for downstairs or upstars - one is cheaper than the other) where I was warned that standing was "absolutely…More »
