Bars

This is a really hidden and unique speakeasy style cocktail bar just need Old Street Station. They have live music and a great atmosphere! You will need to book in advance for this one You have to pay careful attention to the address because it has no signs to show where it is, it is just a wooden door on a busy street and feels quite secretive!

Food scene

Wow - the best Indian food I've found in town and it doesn't cost a fortune! This is not your typical English Indian takeaway style food. It has more of a street style menu with the addition of being in really amazing restaurant interiors. You feel like you're in a colonial restaurant in India, its great! Side note- if you are less than 6 people you may have to queue at busy times but its so worth it and they bring you drinks while you wait! If you are more than 6, then you can book

This place is a really lovely coffee shop that serves incredible food. Doesn't really matter what you order, it will all taste good. Its also a great place to set up camp with your laptop if you have some work to do! It all adds up, so the bill is normally a little more than you would hope for brunch, but for a treat on a lazy Sunday morning, I would recommend

Sightseeing

Ah this is a local favourite. Every Sunday the small Columbia Road transforms into an extremely busy and very 'London' flower market. East-enders, shouting prices and deals. Its really friendly and quite a sight to behold. Even if you're not in the market to buy, its a great area that coffee shops are benefiting from greatly. There's often music and just a nice vibe when the sun is shining

You don't need an Oyster Card, just use your bank card

Often people are confused how to get around on the tube and buses, but to save time, all you need to do is swipe your contactless bank card and it will charge you the same rate as an Oyster card You only need train tickets for Overground trains if you are heading outside of London
