There are great baristas lovingly pouring perfect flat whites, passionate chefs making innovative affordable dishes in modern eateries and small neighbourhood restaurants, creative mixologists blending exciting new drinks and specialist shop owners offering truly unique products you definitely won’t find elsewhere!

We hope this guide helps you experience the most unique of this dazzling borough: From the concept places with passionate owners to the special spots where originality and quality are always at the heart of everything they do! We adore them & are confident you’ll love them too.
