Sketch Gallery, on Conduit Street, is highly recommended. The modern British/French food is divine (the beef tartare is astoundingly tasty) but it’s the interior design, walls adorned by electronic projections instead of wallpaper, that takes your breath away.

This small pub was build in 1720. Right on the riverfront of the Thames. Excellent views of the river - good food and beer.

Used to be the Duke of Wellington's officers mess, and is now arguably the smallest pub in London, located on the edge of Belgravia. It's certainly still old fashioned, dark and atmospheric and is said to have one of the old soldiers as a ghost. There's an equally small (20-seater) restaurant at the rear with a good reputation. Pub speciality - Bloody Mary.

It was once my local pub. I was born and bred in London Fields, and this was a beacon of the community: good beer, a boules pit in the back garden and, during the summer, local cricket or football. Someone generally has a guitar or sings a song and people listen while chilling on the grass.

It was an intimate, friendly place - it's lost its intimacy because it's more popular now, but its still a great place for a summer day's relaxing. Take a picnic...

A quirky museum detailing the 400-year-old history of tea and coffee, from the British persepective. It's quaint rather than hi-tech but you won't find many places that serve up a better cuppa.
