step into this Greek-run, hipster-friendly café and you can’t help but feel that they’re missing a trick. Yes, yes: they’ve done a great job of working their way down the checklist of Tropes You Must Fulfill If You Serve Artisanal Coffee (exposed copper piping everywhere, lightbulbs fitted into dangling jam jars, product range so Fairtrade that even their ginger ale’s packaging shouts: ‘TASTE THE JUSTICE’).

Shopping
A regular, large vintage fair that has racks of garments, jewellery, trinkets and homeware to browse through. There's also a pop-up nail bar and a retro tearoom with some scrummy-looking sweet treats. Plus they offer an alterations service, so you can still buy that something beautiful even if it doesn't fit.

Parks & Nature
Such a lovely hidden gem near St. Pauls. The can't-miss part of the park is a memorial wall with tiles commemorating those who lost their lives so others could live. It's beautiful, touching, and well worth a visit (I trekked here from north London to see it*). Benches, trees, a fountain... it's lovely.
