Food scene

Great hot drinks, smoothies and unbelievable cakes (or salads if that’s more your thing 😉), to be grabbed on your way into town right on the train station entrance. There’s also an annex on Platform 1 if you’re in a rush... Bonnie and her team always have a cheerful soundtrack and smiles to match, which makes my day everytime I stop by!

Foodies’ pub

Because it’s not all about the drinks...
Handsome local pub with a vintage central bar, good food and perfect location for a drink on your way back from a long day in town.

Active

Because sometimes you need to try something different... There’s 2 circuits high up in the great woods of Alexandra Palace: one for junior climbers (from 1 metre tall) and one for more grown up adventurers. Both finish in style with a high-adrenalin zipline.

Independent shops and food places

No chains here!!
A short bus ride from our flat (W3 towards Finsbury Park), Crouch End has lots of great independent shops, bars and restaurants, making it well worth a visit if like me you tire of identikit chains easily... The crowd is bobo/artsy/media types and the area is extremely family-friendly (good baby changing facilities in every restaurant/café).
