Things to do in London, England: The Best Coffeehouses
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

3. Park Theatre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 146 reviews
Park Theatre is the brainchild of Artistic Director, Jez Bond, and Creative Director, Melli Marie, who – following a six year London-wide search for a building – discovered a vacant office block next to Finsbury Park station in 2010. Garnering support from the theatre community at large – including luminaries such as Ian McKellen and Alan Rickman, the press and, importantly, local residents – they set out to raise the necessary funds to convert the tired concrete building into a thriving new theatre and beacon for the community. At a cost of just £2.6 million, the building, designed by David Hughes Architects, opened in May 2013 to rave reviews from the critics.

I was in north London for just one full day, primarily to see the astounding Charlotte Salomon exhibition at The Jewish Museum in Camden Town. I stayed at the Travelodge in Finsbury Park....very convenient when there’s no need to go in to central London.....and , to make the fullest use of the time, I looked for things to do in the immediate vicinity. On my arrival night these were enjoyable visits to both Happening Bagels and the Faltering Fullback pub. For the second night, I found out about the Park Theatre and booked to see the musical ‘Rags’ and for pre-show pizza in the theatre’s café-bar. I had a lovely evening. The food was fine and well priced and the café environment was fun and relaxed. I really enjoyed the show. In the second half the message perhaps got just a little pushed and over sentimental. Overall, though, I thought all aspects were excellent; the story, the staging, the acting and singing, the music and the lighting. Being so close to the performance was brilliant and the audience played their part, clearly appreciating the narrative, references and humour. I was impressed by all the staff I came across at the theatre, actors, front of house staff and catering staff. Well done for providing such a nice venue and staging such a good production. I feel like I haven’t been to London but, better still, have enjoyed a short break in Finsbury Park plus my bus trip to Camden Town!

We popped here for drinks before our lunch, what a great internet find, and the place did not disappoint either. Reserved a table for 6 via a text message, we were delayed by a train, but they held the spot for us. Negronis were insane, and served to the table in a small glass filled to the brim and I mean brim! cocktails authentic and tasty, we also had the anti-pasto - cheese - meats - breads all delicious and freshly prepared. Lovely small Italian intimate spot for pre-dinner drinks.
