This place has a hidden history. The Stones, U2 and many others all played upstairs. Feels like a sleeping giant.
Ace museum. But head up to the Top Deck bar and order a cappuccino. Loving the Tube roundel-shaped sprinklings on top.
This iron replica of Big Ben dates from 1892. Its refurbishment in 1981 was sponsored by the French company Elf Aquitaine, hence the insription ‘my heart beats true for England as for France’.
As good as anything you'll find on nearby Upper Street (and, in many cases, better), the KoD has two main rooms with different character and limited outdoor seating.

This fascinating museum is located in an old Georgian sugar warehouse, and tells the 2,000 year story of London’s river, port and people. It also houses the archives of the Port of London Authority.

Queen Elizabeth II was born in this London house on 21st April, 1926. It was the home of her maternal grandfather, the Earl of Strathmore.
Lovely pub tucked away brilliantly close to Sadler's Wells. The mulled wine at Christmas was a treat.
'No frills' is an understatement. It's like the management hunted down any 'frills' with a carving knife and chased them out the door. Good for pretending you're in an old episode of Minder.
Shaston is the Medieval name for Shaftesbury, a village in Hardy country, we learned from a plaque on the wall. Great little boozer, easy to overlook.
Semi-secret flamenco bar a few doors down from the more famous Bradley's. Head down into the basement for cramped gyration to live acoustic. Really mixed, friendly crowd.
