    Just along the quay from the Chain Locker, this busy boozer is the place for a sunset pint, with picnic tables beside the harbour and a twin-floored pub selling German lager and local beers.

  10. Bea’s of Bloomsbury

    Bea’s made its name with signature cupcakes so it was only natural for them to offer a full afternoon tea, too. The cafe is tiny but original with its mix of open kitchen and boutique decor. It’s located 10 minutes’ walk from the British Museum.

    Callooh Callay

    Given it’s inspired by Jabberwocky, Lewis Carroll’s nonsense poem, this bar’s eccentric decor doesn’t come as a surprise. Try the Ale of Two Cities, which comes in a half-pint beer mug.

    Electric Ballroom

    One of Camden’s historic venues, the Electric Ballroom has been entertaining North Londoners since 1938. Many great bands and musicians have played here, from Blur to Paul McCartney, The Clash and U2. There are club nights on Fridays (Sin City: metal music) and Saturdays (Shake: a crowd pleaser of dance anthems from the 70s, 80s and 90s).

  17. Gate Picturehouse

    The Gate’s single screen has one of London’s most charming art deco cinema interiors. Despite its retro-cutesy name, this cinema takes its programming seriously, with director Q&As and live opera screenings from the famous Glyndebourne Festival.

    Grand Union

    With just the right mix of shiny gastropub, rough-and-ready local appeal and a splendid location on the Grand Union Canal with a waterside terrace, this pub is a fabulous place to enjoy a couple of pints on your way to or from Portobello Road Market.
