My go-to place for breakfast/brunch, especially if I am hungover as it is a very short walk from my flat! Everything is freshly prepared and they offer a great full English breakfast, or breakfast burritos or if you are after something a bit fancier they do things like salmon and scrambled eggs on rye bread. For the healthy options they have porridge, granola and a selection of fresh fruit smoothies.

Great summer pub right on the river, gorgeous views of the Thames and it gets the last of the evening summer sun in the garden out front. Perfect for an evening drink or dinner.

The Lost Hours
541 King's RdFantastic place to start your night. Great cocktails and atmosphere, lovely garden out the back.
Really unique bar, it is underground and converted from a huge storage facility. The owners have succeeded in keeping the décor authentic. The skeleton of the building has been left virtually untouched, given it a great atmosphere.
Get there early to eat dinner, they offer a Mediterranean dinner menu and serve local organic produce and then stay on for some cocktails and dancing (or move on to a club if you prefer)
