Shopping

The people at Borough Wines are quite happy to talk wine forever. We love the fill-your-own bottle scheme, you buy an empty 1l bottle once and fill it from barrels of own-label red or white for £6.

Arts & Culture

The centre of the East London art scene. Openings and views every first Thursday of the month 6pm-9pm. It's got a busy atmosphere esp on warmer months - everyone is mingling out on the streets.
