Two of my new fav restaurants are Levan in Peckham and Xi’an Biang Biang noodles in Aldgate/Spitalfields. Trying Jolene in Hackney next week, too, which looks promising.

Low Company is a great, well-curated record store

if you’re in Whitechapel: Tayyabs is fantastic. Everything is great - quite meaty, but if you don’t eat meat, it’s got some great vegetarian things. But seriously, Tayyabs.

Very nice record stores in Hackney:

Great recommendations so far.

If you’re into wine, you’ll be within walking distance of Sager & Wilde and The Laughing Heart, both of which have an excellent selection.

Restaurant-wise, I would also recommend Smoking Goat, Brat & St Leonard’s all just down the road in Shoreditch.

The Bleep record store has unfortunately just closed which would have been worth a trip.

London Modular isn’t too far, check opening times before going though.

I’m in London until May 7th. Any esoteric suggestions? I’m already planning on going to the Flutter Echo Festival at Cafe Oto to see Thurston Moore and others. Any other art/music/film/food/oddity thoughts?

Hanging in London tonight (well, Cafe Oto specifically) to see Joshua Abrams’ Natural Information Society w/ Evan Parker. Hung out at Oto earlier in the afternoon and spent too much on incredible records — a great place that so far has exceeded my high expectations.

Been to a couple of great small jazz clubs in London recently - The Crypt in Camberwell and Vortex in Dalston. Both highly recommended.

Flimflam at Ryan’s Bar on Stoke Newington Church Street is an improv institution.

Disclosure: I maintain their website.

It is good, and despite being a London resident, a combination of family commitments and not having a local gig-partner/crew prevent me going as regularly as I would like. As a minor anecdote, last time I was there they ran out of paper towels in the gents toilets so a chap in there at the same time as me went to the stockroom and methodically filled it up for us, which was nice because he’d just got off stage and was Thurston Moore.

nothing to do with music and I don’t know if it’s geek enough, but anyone in London could go to Today Bread and say hi to my cousin Alex from me!

cheers
