1. The O2 Forum

The O2 Forum has been treating us to entertainment since 1934, at which point it was an art deco cinema. It has come a long way since then, re-inventing itself as an Irish Dance Hall, a bingo hall, and finally, a music venue in its own right. Functioning now as the little sibling to the O2 Academy, this venue has welcomed the likes of Nina Simone, Prince, The Who, Lenny Kravitz and more. Curious about what they have on their ever-evolving programme for you? Have a browse through their website.

2. Anima e Cuore

Ever since the Time Out Eating and Drinking Editors put this tiny restaurant (and by tiny, we truly do mean tiny) on the map, it’s booked out weeks in advance! Reminiscent of a gelateria and café hybrid, the quality of its Italian serving makes a stark contrast with the minimalistic surroundings of the restaurant. The fact that it has a mere 22 seats takes absolutely nothing away from its quality serving, and we’re definitely proud to have it in our neighbourhood.
