Great Eritrean food! Not had it before? This is your chance to try. If you're going on the weekend you may want to book ahead.

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.

Looking for a hearty Polish meal? Look no further than Mamuśka. Just like your mum used to make!

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!

The Dog House
293 Kennington RdGreat pub with outside area, for when the sun is actually shining!
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!).

Great theatre re-invigorated by its previous director, a certain Kevin Spacey. Always worth checking what's on when you're in town!

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.

Probably the closest chain supermarket. It's an express so doesn't have the widest selection, but it is open daily until 11pm!
