Food Scene
This is a superb market. It's on most Sundays and is a 'must' for anyone visiting the area. Sells colourful, delicious street food of every description and has the odd craft stall there too. Great for eating, grabbing a coffee and a crepe and for plain ole people watching:)

This is in Bowes Park, which is a 15 minute walk from our place or 1 stop on the train from Alexandra Palace. It's very close but very different to where we are in that Myddleton Road is much more 'urban' and The Step is a very 'on trend' venue serving delicious food, providing great music and good atmosphere. Definitely recommend an evening out here.

Our friends and neighbours have this place and it is wonderful! You must go for coffee, lunch, brunch or gifts! It's also a fantastic deli! Could not recommend it enough.

This is a little gem! It's not opulent in any way but serves great coffee and a mighty fine selection of bread and cakes and the staff cannot do enough for its guests!

Drinks & Nightlife
This is a very cool bar with a difference. Located in the heart of Crouch End which is a 5 minute 'uber' away from us or a 15 minute walk (or W3 bus will get you there in a jiffy!) Anyway, this bar sells good beer, great wine and decent 'pub grub' but the comedy downstairs is why we go. It's on most Saturday evenings and serves up excellent entertainment, often parodying the middle classes of North London

This is the reason most people come to North London and we basque in its glory by living less than 5 minutes away. It is an awesome park. Come and see for yourself:)
