The local council have been re-developing these baths for ages. Due to open in Autumn of 2012, which I believe is almost over. I guess it will be a place to bathe with strangers.

This restaurant is so good, you'll find queues and queues on a Friday or Saturday night. Trust me, it's worth it. The lamb skewers are incredible and the peshwari naan to die for. Go there!

Shop by day, club by night. I really like this random little club just a short walk from Kings Cross station (and bus 214/205 from home). Fun music and funny crowd. Open late on weekends.

Big Uber-club. I hear it has incredible world-class DJ's which probably explains the insane entry prices. You'll find people exiting around 9am.... lots of vomit in nearby alleys.

Lots of bars and restaurants around Hoxton Square. It's a fun place to go for bar hopping on most nights of the week. In Summer people sit on the grassy square with drinks and catch some rays.

Old meat market where most of the local restaurants pick up their meat and fish. Smells terrible but it's worth a look. Afterwards, go pick up a coffee at Farm (great coffee) in Farringdon.

Possibly the ugliest place you have ever seen, it looks like a nuclear meltdown occured in the 70's and became expensive housing estate. Use it to cut through the city to Bank and St Pauls.
