With its wooden interior, red leather bar stools and friendly faces behind the bar, The Duke of Wellington has everything you expect from a great neighbourhood pub. If you're searching for a new go-to for an after-work pint, look no further. In the summer, you can take your beer out to the park in front and soak up the sun all day—now how about that! 

This has to be one of our favourite independent bookstores in London. They have a great selection of bestsellers and new indie authors, plus a basement full of pre-loved literary goods. Can't make a decision on which books to take on your next gloobles adventure? The team there always has great recommendations! 

This is a spot that comes up in every foodie Londoner’s little black book. As a result, it might seem surprisingly simple – there isn't even the option to book - but that is its joy. Best for a brunch of winter tomatoes on sourdough followed by olive oil cake, with views of runners, dogs and cyclists navigating the canal-side path. Open from March to November, it’s particularly glorious on a sunny day.

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!!
