Bookshop filled with royalty free image books. Illustrations, photos, type. 19th and 20th century focus.
Best record store on the planet. Look out for new release deals with limited bonus discs and wrist bands for its legendary in-store gigs.
Tons of bargains on book, CDs and DVDs. Large collection of art house and independent film and classic pop albums.
Always worth stopping by. The in-house Café is one of the calmest places around Oxford Street. Some exhibitions are free of charge and the shop has a large collection of photo books and retro cameras.
Nicely refurbished right in time for the Olympics. Don't miss the little Café at the Pond.
Tiny local pub with Brooklyn Lager on tap. Solid burger with great sweet potato chips. Massive portions.
Quickest way to get to the Tate Modern from north of the river. Drive to St. Pauls by Bus (242, 25 and others) or Tube (Central Line) and cross the Thames. Picturesque sunsets. Slippery when wet.
At the northern end of the market at Clerkenwell Road is a little stall that sells old design, architecture, art and fashion magazines for a pound each. Open every Thursday and Friday.
Large collection of design magazines, rare motion design DVDs, t-shirts, books and stuff. If you're here on a Thursday or Friday don't miss the old magazine stall at Leather Lane Market.
Best Italian food I ever had. The ones in Italy included. It's actually two places. The restaurant and the take-away across the street.
