I’m not the biggest fan of sushi, but I’m told it’s the real deal here. I come for the healthy, tasty Bento Box at lunchtime. This independent, welcoming little gem also delivers.

Sightseeing
One of London’s best-kept secrets is right behind you! The eastern stretch of Regents Canal begins on Danbury Street and you can join the walkers, joggers, cyclists and boaters east towards Victoria Park and eventually to the river Thames. Along the way there are some great bars and places to eat. Highly recommended.

An easy 15 mins walk from Kith and Kine is Exmouth Market. A trendy, pedestrianised street filled with independent shops, restaurants and bars, it also has a busy street food market on weekdays.
A great place to watch the stylish, creative locals. We recommend Caravan for coffee, Moro for fine dining (if you can get a booking) and the Exmouth Arms for a cool interpretation of a traditional English local pub.

Parks & Nature
Not enough visitors escape to this huge green space a few miles north. Go for the stunning views of the city from Parliament Hill. You can also swim, visit a zoo or have a wander around some of London’s swankier residential spots around the heath.
From Kith and Kine, grab the 43 bus outside the door to Highbury & Islington Overground. Switch to the lovely Overground train to Gospel Oak and you’re there.
