Our go-to for cash-only (<£10/person should do it) late-night kebab/shish. Would recommend the lamb or falafel.

Good place to bring a group of picky friends as there are lots of restaurant options, and a central seating area. My favorite is CooksDaily (complete vegan Asian-fusion) or Athenian (Greek). Does get pretty packed on evenings/weekends, so go early to grab a seat.

Sofar is a secrete music society where you can apply to buy tickets to an event where you do not yet know the artists performing. Kind of a fun way to get to know a city and meet new people.

Shopping

This is the market most of our house plants come from. Open every Sunday (rain or shine) from 8am-(~)3pm. Go early for the flowers, or late for the atmosphere. Lots of great little cafes (StART Coffee, Pavillion Bakery - you MUST try the cinammon rolls), bars (Timber Yard, Campania) and small shops to explore.
