CENTRAL
NOODLE HOUSE
There are branches of this international chain from Moscow to Muscat, all serving simple South East Asian dishes. 117 Shaftesbury Avenue, WC2H 8AD. Tottenham Court Rd.
NORTH
TWO DOORS DOWN
A great new coffee shop between Camden Town and Kentish Town that’s worth the walk from either. 73 Kentish Town Rd, NW1 8NY. Camden Town.

RUSTICO
Proper rustic Italian cooking in a parade of shops just a few minutes’ walk from Stockwell station. 271 Clapham Rd, SW9 9BQ. Stockwell.
