Culture London 1

Living in Essex it’s insanely hard to find anywhere to watch anything other than big Hollywood blockbusters. This is one of the places I visit regularly to catch a wider variation of cinema.

Another cinema! This place is a true gem though. It gives a lot of foreign and independent films their UK debuts. It also regularly holds screenings that are followed by Q&As with the directors.

It may seem bias that I choose the bar in which I run a club night but I picked it because it’s so good! In Shoreditch there are SO many pubs and bars that, at times, can be too cool for their own good. The Book Club just has a more laid back vibe than a lot of those other places.

I used to come here years ago to catch loads of great US underground hip hop (Sage Francis, Sole, Dose One, etc). In the years since, it’s pretty much single handedly given the world Dubstep and continues to put on loads of great nights.

I always love popping in here for a few drinks. The cavernesque basement area always has a really nice feel to it.

Victoria Park is lovely. With a huge lake and loads of winding paths running through it, it really is a lovely escape from the mayhem of London town.

I love just strolling around this place. From Barbican tube station there is a yellow line painted on the floor leading you to the centre. But it’s the flats (behind the Barbican) and water features that I always find so enchanting. The juxtaposition of modern and classic architecture, along with some of the greenery that makes you forget you are in a city.

I used to go here all the time as a kid. It’s a lovely little museum with a really warm feel about it. Not as grand and touristy as some of the big London Museums but far more enjoyable.
