Food Scene
Wonderful Aussie style coffee place. GREAT food: healthy and delicious. The Rosti, the Ham Hock Eggs Benedict, and the Oat cookies all come highly recommended as does the filter coffee, the flat white, and the hibiscus tea. Tell my buddy Anthony I sent you.

Incredible Korean. There's always a queue outside. Wait! It's worth it. The fried chicken is scrumptious, order half sweet and sour half soy marinade. The shrimp dumplings: order more than you think you need!

The owner is Dutch and absolutely lovely with great advice on bikes. You might not have a bike in town but the real recommendation is the fresh made juice and vegan cooking that make a great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot.

East London is a living art gallery in itself so all you have to do is look up and around and you’ll see some of the world’s best street art before your very eyes. For another experience, check out one of the galleries in this list.
I love this small gallery of modern Italian art, and they have a lovely cafe with a pretty courtyard run by real Italians too! It’s a calm oasis you wouldn’t think you were in the city and a great place to be alone or romantic.
