Amazing new and quite luxury feeling multiplex cinema short bus ride away.

Lovely local cinema - old theatre stylee :)

This is a Gastro-pub - amazingly delicous quality food (pretty expensive too mind!), and also buzzing atmosphere and a lovely quite cool pub!

Also a fav of mine just to wander and meander through. See what you discover...

Lovely cafe esp to sit with a book and yum hot choc. Loads of veggie options which is good. Very friendly.

A fab park- lots of trendies go here, & families. There's a little zoo (deer etc), amazing children playground & paddling pool; Amazing ice-cream in cafe (nice cafe).

This whole street is beautifully full of great cafes and cute shops (great for presents).. lovely to wander down..

Great brunch!! Original food that is sooo tasty. Number 27 in Top 100 Restaurants to eat in London. There are big queues at weekends though.

The only fully Organic market in London. Deeeeelicious veg (nothing like supermarkets). They have fish, meat & CAKES & CHOCOLATE too! Everything organic. Lovely friendly atmosphere & free tasters :)

My favourite part of London. Good in any weather. Wander along the riverside and take in the sights and sounds, window-shop, eat aplenty, chill aplenty. Feels a bit like yr in a film wandering down it

This is an awesome venue - especially in the slightly warmer months! The garden is intricate and adventure to wander round; there is fresh pizza from the oven (when on), & they have many free events

Another little, and different, very nearby. It is also a cemetery(!), full of very old graves, that are fun to read. Great for strolling through for some quiet time; it has a forest feel.

The best Italian style Pizza. Yum.

An alternative to Food For All (Cazenove Road), bigger so more produce - most is organic and free range/ sustainable etc etc Bit pricey but nice (even to browse and try tasters :)

Gorgeous veggie restaurant. yum, but super busy and no bookings, so get there early!

I love this park. It is probably the closest to the flat, about 7 mins walk. Its on a hill and leads down to the River Lea which is stunning to walk along, & Hackney Marshes. There is a cafe too.

My favourite local shop - a community shop and charity selling whole foods and organic produce and huge variety of herbs(biggest in london i think). Lots of yummy & healthy things here and lovely folk

Nice for croissants, pastries, cakes, hot drinks and smoothies.
