The Museum of the Order of St John Cloister Garden
A wonderful quiet garden for people in the know and ideal to sit in on a summer's day. Make sure you also take time to find the entrance to the original crypt, a wonderfully thematic space with tombs dating back hundreds of years.

Ozone Coffee Roasters
Proper coffee in warehouse-style surroundings and food too, served from breakfast through to dinner.

Bourne and Hollingsworth
You may have to book really far in advance, but the brunch with bottomless cocktails is definitely worth the wait! Make sure you try the French toast with clotted cream, berries and honey...

Mugen
Owned and operated by Japanese ladies, this gem on Cowcross Street opposite Farringdon Station offers quite simply the best selection of sushi and other Japanese food this side of Kyoto!

The Wilmington
Just down the road from Sadler's Wells Theatre, this exceptional gastro pub is packed before a show - and rightly so.

I can get the perfect poached eggs on toast in the morning and then go back in the evening for a bottle of craft beer!

69 Colebrooke Row
One of London's best kept secrets. The size of a small living room, but serving the best experimental cocktails around. The bar uses spirits and drinks that it infuses itself in a drinks laboratory and the staff wear lab coats.

Flat Iron
Best steak restaurant around. So tasty and very reasonably priced!
"Great St Bart's is a church on West Smithfield and was used in the filming of a number of well known films, including Four Weddings and a Funeral, Robert Downey-Jr's Sherlock and The Other Boleyn Girl."
I love walking down Upper Street and choosing where to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner - the choice is amazing!
Daniel Burrell
Clerkenwell offers residents outstanding choice when it comes to the bars and restaurants and all so close to London's financial centre, too!
Josh Walsh
This inspiring mosaic in Angel reminds me every day to do what I love!
