My spots (23)
Olympic Park – Urban playground
"Hackney Wick Canal" in London once a quasi-industrial wasteland, now a prime hipster hangout... I like sitting at the canal side with a beer.

The Thames Clipper – A new perspective
"The Thames Clipper" is an efficient machine, designed for London commuters. It's the perfect way to get on a boat on the Thames on a sunny evening!

Chewing Gum Art – Pavement patterns
If you venture off to Muswell Hill, North London, do check out the "Chewing Gum Art" stuck on the pavement! You might even meet the artist behind it all...

Oz Erciyes – The finest of kebabs
"Oz Erciyes" in London is the kebab shop closest to me, so I'm biased, but I have to say that it's truthfully one of the best in the whole city...

Jai Krishna – Cheap and cheerful grub
"Jai Krishna" in London is one of the best cheapest eats in town! This South Indian joint offers delicious curries and dosas at low prices. It's BYOB, too!

The Barbican Cinema – Arthouse selection
"The Barbican Cinema" in London's Barbican Centre is definitely underrated. What makes it great for me is the impeccable selection of films & the building.

Jam in a Jar – Live music in the northeast
"Jam in a Jar" in London is my favorite new cafe to watch the world go by. At night it transforms into an intimate bar. I love their live concerts...

About me
About me
I'm a Londoner born and (almost) bred!
I moved back here after studying for six years in Manchester and am currently working as a junior doctor in the NHS.
When not working, I love seeing live music - anything from jazz, afrobeat, latin or electro - and eating delicious food.
I'm also a certified sun-seeker and escape the rain whenever I get an opportunity, particularly if it means I get to practice my Spanish at the same time.
Why London
London really does have it all - beautiful parks, world-class food and great nightlife - all while retaining a sense of the community.
When I moved back here from Manchester one thing that struck me was the huge diversity. It is, after all, the most multicultural city in the world, which means it is a melting point of languages, food and tradition, which makes it a unique and, all in all, a pretty glorious place to live.
