We find that pizza beyond the borders of Naples (let alone outside Italy’s glorious boot) is rarely up to snuff, but Sweet Thursday is here to prove us wrong. This, er, sweet little spot churns out great Neapolitan pizzas from their charming outpost in De Beauvoir town. On your way out, you can grab a bottle of organic Italian wine to-go. 

The ultimate retro treasure trove. 2&4 Vintage is a mid-century modern store that sells carefully chosen and restored Danish and British furniture. Immerse yourself in some retail therapy in this kingdom of funky interiors and unique light installations located in Hackney. 

You know what always makes us happy? Batch brew, baby! Especially when the place we get it from is this cute. The 70s decor and community of canine regulars are our favourite part...besides the amazing specialty coffee, of course!! 

For "friendly wines" (aka wines that can be sipped and chatted over whilst also being zero-zero) head straight to De Beauvoir Town. With its romantically whimsical interiors, tasty small plates, 2500 records and stellar list of wines, the date-night standards will be set high!
