“The Old Cinema is an antique shop which I love and I always just go in there to look for antique furniture, chairs or jewelry or sofas or anything I can kind of collect.”

The Old Cinema

“They do incredible Nigerian food and it would be good for people who are vegetarian or vegan. They do incredible breakfasts, lunches, dinners. If you’re into West African food or if it’s your first time, that would be a good place to go to.”

Pitanga

"They have always put on good shows. They have this nice ice rink in December, art fairs like the 15-4 African Art Fair and other great shows and exhibitions."

Somerset House

“I love going to Dover Street Market. I can't afford much, just nice to look at clothes and trainers and exclusive things. I think that would be it!”

Dover Street Market

“The first time I went there I just remember thinking, how have I not been here before? Everything from the interiors to the artworks to the restaurant is just wow. Magical. You feel like you’re somewhere else.”
