Grab a Coffee from Farm Girl Café
Shiny blue tiles and a sunny courtyard, this is definitely a feel good café. Delicious, nutritious superfoods are on the menu but don’t let the healthiness put you off.

Try Top nosh at Granger & Co.
Aussie chef Bill Granger’s troops serve up superb food, wine, and coffees in this bustling corner location. Get there early to beat the morning queues and relish an epic brunch.

Visit the Museum of Brands
Remember when Mars Bars used to be 10p? It’s all there, the brands and packs, radios and ads, fads, sweets, toys and games. Evocative and inspiring, it’s a kaleidoscope of images and brands.
Dine at The Mitre
A large red brick pub with a relaxed atmosphere, serving delicious Sunday roasts and a great selection of beers, spirits, and wines. Enjoy generous portions and fantastic service from the friendly staff.
Go Gin tasting at The Ginstitute
The Ginstitute on Portobello Road serves nothing but gin. Find out how it became a national drink, how it's made, and get to know the elements of a great one before making your own.
Bookshop of the movie
Famous as the inspiration for Hugh Grant’s bookshop in the film Notting Hill, it sells (wait for it) travel books, and also hosts several author events every month.
Enjoy a Quirky Experience at The Earl of Lonsdale
