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!! 

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. 

If it's one of those long-awaited sunny days in London, we always try to snag a seat at this neighbourhood gem. It's the perfect place to sip a warm cappuccino, enjoy a delicious almond croissant and read a good book in the sun. 

Set discreetly under two railway arches is this boldly designed wine clubhouse. Diners gather around one long table facing the kitchen to watch Seb Myers, formerly of Clapton wine bar P. Franco, plating his French-flavoured dishes. There’s a glass of wine suggested for every course and it’s a great spot to discover low-intervention bottles.
