God's Own Junkyard London
London's electric wonderland
Sarra from London
Although it is kind of unlikely to find yourself wandering around Walthamstow if you are visiting London, there is a little gem out there that is well worth the journey. God’s own Junkyard is a must-visit quirky gallery that fans of all things peculiar will absolutely love. Hidden in the backstreets of Ravenswood Industrial Estate lies a unit that is home to a vast collection of neon signs, vintage lights, old movie props and artwork made from random objects, many of which have been rescued from the streets and brought back to ‘light'.
With some great tunes playing in the background and a café bar hidden somewhere in the back, serving a good selection of drinks and food items, this is a perfect spot to take a break from London’s grey winter and spend a couple of hours walking through this unique labyrinth of light and colour. Open to the public on most weekends (Free Entry), from Friday to Sunday, yet make sure to check opening hours before visiting as on certain dates it is booked for private events.

The Derby
Oval's one-stop pint shop
The seats are comfortable, the lighting dark & despite its clear disinterest in hyper-trendiness, after dark The Derby manifests a brilliant dive bar vibe.
