"This Leytonstone restaurant is my favourite in London, and does the best Thai cuisine (if not best food in general) in the city, with super authentic flavours. They have developed quite a cult following and you have to book months in advance. It's run by a Thai couple and their son who have no plans on expansion because they prioritise quality, which I really respect. I'd love to see these small family-owned businesses being preserved because that's where London's culture shines most vibrantly. I always go there with a big group and order everything on the specials blackboard. I've never had a bad dish."
"There are quite a few community cultural spaces in South London, which I'm grateful to live close to. For example, Spanner in Loughborough Junction. They're a small, club or party venue where they have lots of really interesting, up-and-coming musicians and DJs. I'm always having a great time there. Last time I went was for a friend's farewell party, and the DJ had this massive Indonesian rice mountain."
"This bar on Hackney Road has a distinct, sage-green tiled exterior. I come here specifically for my favourite cocktail in the world, their exquisite Flor: distilled tomato, olive oil, Fino Sherry and Haku vodka. Imagine a kind of transparent gazpacho. It's stunning, fresh and light. That's genuinely my favourite cocktail ever."
"My favourite wine bar is in De Beauvoir, a cute, intimate spot that's quite tucked away on a residential street but very popular. They have a spectacular wine list including old vintages and rare gems, and the atmosphere is really nice, especially when it's sunny and people sit on the tables outside. It's an adorable place to have a date."
