Our favourite! This is our go to place for a meal out. Sit out front and watch the world go by, or grab a cosy table indoors for a relaxed evening of pizza, beer & wine. We love the Sardinia or the White Pizzas. It's the same Italian team as the coffee room - so make sure you pop by both!

This gorgeous spot is hidden away between Mile End Park and Victoria Park. The building itself is worth a wander around and its a great spot for an evening drink or a relaxed dinner. Book their small restaurant for a private meal, or grab some tables at the distillery bar next door. The food is delicious and reasonable with great group menus or lovely casual meals if you're popping by. You can also book onto tours of the gin distillery!

Shopping

If you're in town on a Sunday, Columbia Road Flower Market is a must do! Head to Mile End Park and follow the canal all the way up through Victoria Park (Stopping at the Pavillion or the Coffee Room for a caffeine boost!), all the way up to the Market. Follow the stream of relaxed Sunday shoppers carrying trees and flowers to find the Flower Market, tucked away in the most quintessential Georgian street. Start at the bottom and work your way up to Ezra st where you'll find Jones Cafe, market stools and live music. If you're lucky enough to grab a table get breakfast and people watch as you listen to the music. Pop into the shops - there are some brilliant ones!
