Entertainment & Activities
Perfect for a family afternoon, or just for a coffee in the afternoon (Cafe closes around 5, I believe). Best option on a rainy day with small children since they arrange events for kids. Free entry.

Best burger EVER! Byron is a London chain, but each of their restaurants has a different style. Try the Byron Burger with a Brooklyn Lager, it's just divine. Have veggie option too.

Best Bagels in town, you can count on that as much as you can count on the staff being notoriously unfriendly. Open 24/7. Try Hot Salt Beef with mustard and pickle. Cheap option after long night out!
