London, UK
COFFEE
De Beauvoir Deli very dear to my heart, this neighbourhood takeaway window is my local. They sell beautiful ingredients and everything is clearly produced with love and care
Wilton Way Deli & Wines this street is the perfect spot to start or end a day around London Fields. Make sure you stop into Momosan Shop and check out Binch around the corner for another wine or take home bottle
Jolene Bakery & Restaurant a weekend must for takeaway coffee or reserve a table for a glorious dinner
WAVE We Are Vegan Everything is my favourite cafe to sit and watch the world from. It’s intimate, light filled, has a killer gluten free mushroom “sausage” roll and magic always seems to happen when I visit. I’ve met and run into countless special people at Wave. I hope it brings you some luck (and deliciousness)
Brunswick East go for the brownie or gluten free sourdough
FOOD
Broadway Market the perfect weekend experience. Stroll the full length before locking your food choice in. Once decided, London Fields is just there, waiting for you to come and sit
London Fields BYO picnic or sit for some sun and green, green grass
Oren Delicatessen if you’re visiting Broadway on a weekday or want to go the full picnic route, the Oren deli has amazing Mediterranean inspired food designed for this exact set-up
Figs and Grain a gorg little supermarket to pad out any remaining picnic requirements
Cafe Cecilia a favourite in London. Opened by fashion designer Simone Rocha’s brother, this place is chic and the food is always YUM
OREN if the deli peaked your interest, make sure to visit Oren for a meal. I love the vibrant food here and it’s almost always on my tour of London when I have visitors
Elliot’s Hackney delicious, fresh, natural style wines and food
Brat x Climpson's Arch perfect to grab a standing table out the front for a drink in the sun or book a table for a really beautifully wood-fire-oven cooked feast
WINE
Hector’s bright, small and stylish. It can be hard to find a spot so I recommend grabbing a table early and enjoy people watching
De Beauvoir Arms everyone must have a local pub in London and this one is mine. I might be biased but it’s the best. Great food and great outdoor seating
Newcomer Wines if the weather is glorious, head straight to the garden out the back and enjoy a fizz or an orange
Dan’s my absolute favourite. The perfect blend of wine bar and pub feel. You’ll feel instantly relaxed and welcome. A little accidental slice of Aus in East London, but I promise that’s not why I love it. It’s just the best. You’ll see
SHOP
Momosan Shop stunning local and Japanese homewares. My go-to for gifts and weekend browsing
Bambrows not technically a shop, although they do stock some local magic, but the girls at Bambrows are so good for everything brow and lash related. If you’re in need, incorporate it into you Broadway Market/London Fields outting
