Where to eat

A mix of places suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner. To sit in, or take away.
This is a great Thai spot just a short 12 minute stroll from the flat. Street food style means it's really cost effective and the communal bench seating makes for a buzzing atmosphere. You can't book so be prepared to wait for 15 minutes in a queue, but it's well worth the wait.

Unbelievably good Thai food round the corner from the flat. You will pay for the quality though. £25-£35 a head for 2 courses and a glass of wine.

Fantastic cocktails in the North of the city. Bramble is a basement bar so look down when you're trying to spot it. Fantastic cocktails, around £8-£12 each, with an intimate atmosphere. Well worth a drink when you're in town.
