We're all familiar with Waterstones Bookshops, and I find that quite often they are in lovely buildings too! I love the minty green of the woodwork on the front of this branch. You can purchase this illustration as part of a set of greetings cards or it's on my 'Bookshops of London' poster.

The Brick Lane Bookshop

I love this little bookshop!

Lola & Simon, London

I've visited this lovely Cafe/Restaurant a few times now. It's just down the road from my flat and is dog friendly! It's actually named after two dogs the owners know, nice huh? Highly recommend the breakfast/brunch choices along with the tea and coffee...yummy!

The Hackney Pearl, London

This piece isn't up on untappedcities.com yet, but I love it so. A friend of mine opened the 'London Centre for Book Arts' in Hackney Wick, and every time I visit I make sure I swing by here for a delicious coffee and to gaze lovingly at the cakes...
