A warm, friendly, safe, London experience. Fantastic local architecture spanning centuries. Historic gardens/green areas with impressive, mature trees that host squirrels, birds etc Very good selection of local eateries covering all tastes from fast food, through whole food (Alara), Indian vegetarian (Drummond Street or the Hare Krishna man who stands on the corner of Malet Street and Byng Place giving free lunches) French patisserie - Miel, Warren Street, real not extruded : ) cakes & pastries made by gentle and caring cooks. Vegan - Moreish on the corner of Marchmont Street and Tavistock Place has vegan options & also does unique & delicious house made ice cream, Thenga in a basement in Judd Street and Ginger Jules cafe in Gordon Square also offer vegan. For a more traditional menu - Noble Rot in Lamb's Conduit. Good book shops, Judd Books, Marchmont Street, & a large branch of Waterstones, with adjoining cafe, in a wonderfully decorative building in Torrington Place. There is also, rather unexpectedly, a bowling alley, with associated fast food, AND karaoke! it's entrance is on Bedford Way. Local supermarkets, 5 minutes walk, stay open late, & Waitrose in the Brunswick Centre has a great selection of reasonably priced, good quality, ready meals. To the north is the new development around & behind Kings Cross, where, if you do too much walking and wear out your shoes, you can find a Nike outlet store : ) Also to the north, Camley Street Natural Park, sadly closed at the moment, and St Pancras Old Church, burial place of Sir John Soane, whose small but perfectly formed museum is in Lincoln's Inn Fields. And to the south, the British Museum, Oxford Street & Regent Street. This area has such richness and diversity, all reachable by foot rather than by public transport which with the current threat of the coronavirus might be considered relevant. Also of note : - Cosmo China (hand painted, original, entertaining, delightful, plates, cups, t-towels etc) in Cosmo Place, which leads from Southampton Row to Queen Square where one can find the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine.
