The British Library

The British Library is located next-door to our hotel and it is a home to number of books and manuscripts displayed to the public for free. Be sure not to miss Magna Carta but also Captain Cook's journal. Every music fan can visit The British Library Sound Archive and listen to old recordings. My personal favourite is the statue of Isaac Newton in the main piazza, sculptured by Eduardo Paolozzi.

Dishoom King`s Cross

If you fancy a travel in time and space into an old Bombay during the 1920s, this branch of Dishoom is exactly for you. Food is both original and comforting. The most sought-after black dhal is legendary and butter nans are dangerously addictive. Dinner time you can book a table of 6 and more and sip on a Bombay Martini while waiting for your group to arrive.

The Lighterman

The Lighterman is owned by the same people behind Alfred Tennyson, one of my favourite drinking spots in London. The location is stunning and you have to sit on a terrace or right next to one of its massive windows. The cocktail menu is extensive and reasonably priced. I love their fish and chips with home made tartar sauce .Go there for breakfast or brunch and cure your head with bloody Mary.

The Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9 ¾

Every die-har fan of Harry Potter books has to visit this iconic location. There is something great in seeing people in their 30s pushing a shopping cart and trying to disappear into a station wall. You are sure to be simply amazed to find a whole world of magic inside. Some of the items are exclusively made and you are guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face.

Spiritland

It is simply impossible not to admire this stunning creation, a perfect marriage of music and cocktails. Especially if you are an audiophile like me, this might be your favorite bar in London from now on. Although the analog sound system is definitely the star of the show, they serve excellent food and deserts all day. Come over in the evening and you might see someone famous behind the decks.

18Montrose

You cannot imagine a better location for this shopping experience located in one of the spacious arches of the restored Grain store building. The way that the items are displayed reminds one more of a modern art gallery with clean square shapes and massive mirrors that multiply reflection. It's a great place to just pop in and have a chat and get the latest updates about sport fashion.

Sipson Tandoori

Only four kilometers from London Heathrow Airport, Sipson Tandoori is a favorite among international travelers as well as local critics. A multi-year recipient of the British Curry Award as well as the only Indian restaurant in the area to receive a five star health and hygiene rating, Sipson consistently raises the bar in regards to functionality and flavor. The menu at Sipson is gigantic, but familiar to fans of Indian cuisine. The most decadent, if perhaps less authentic, selections are placed on the "Royal Dishes" menu, featuring huge portions of rich and delicious curries packed with lamb, chicken, seafood or goat. Of particular note is the paneer shashlick, a tandoor-cooked paneer skewer that lets vegetarians get in on the fun of this iconic dish. The only drawback to Sipson lies in its decor, pastel tones of neon creating a somewhat chintzy effect more befitting of a gimmicky Asian fusion restaurant than an authentic and highly reputed restaurant. If you don't feel like going out, Sipson offers free delivery to customers within a four kilometer radius.

The Plough

The Plough welcomes visitors into West Drayton, the first building on the road through this quaint grassy hamlet. The stark white building stands out against the verdant backdrop of a tree-lined motorway, creating a lovely aesthetic in which to enjoy a few pints on the spacious patio outside. The interior, while a tad small, retains all of the exterior charm, dark wooden accents creating a classic pub vibe that transports guests back to the area's original idyll. Of course, no classic pub would be complete without fish and chips. A smattering of Indian fare is on the menu as well, but the pints and scenery are the real draw at this cozy pub.
