Guidebook for London
Food Scene
I love it because it has delicious street food from all around the world but also has fantastic choice of restaurants, bars and old traditional pubs within the complex. It also has Monmouth's - my favourite coffee shop. To get there from the house just catch a train to London Bridge (20 minutes).
