Think while you drink
London proudly
boasts about a range of
cafes, bars and restaurants
to satisfy the most bizarre
cravings - cereal and
porridge cafes, restaurants
specialising in burger,
lobster, vegan dishes, raw
food, juices, gin palaces
and rum shacks - you
name it, we’ve got it. But
what about the people
who want more - those
whose craving is for
knowledge, who want to
feed their mind as well
as quench a thirst? Well
of course, London has
that too! You just had to
ask. This is your -Thinking
Drinkers Guide to London-
- the capital’s best bars for
brains - because a pub quiz
only goes so far... -
The Store, coffee around the corner
When I asked Antonio
why he decided on Roman
Road as the location for
his latest project, his
response was prophetic,
“I had a dream about
Roman Road. I knew then,
that it would be a great
road.” A delightful little
cafe, The Store is certainly
taking Roman Road in
the direction Antonio
envisaged. -

That Shit Kray
Feared by many but charmed
by more, the Kray
twins of 1950s Bethnal
Green casted a long
shadow in East London a
mere thirty years ago. The
terraced streets of Bethnal
Green and the surrounding
neighbourhoods
that were once under the
Krays’ control, pose a very
different picture as the hip
mecca it is today. -
Barn the Spoon
On the border between
the London Boroughs
of Hackney and Tower
Hamlets, amongst the
chicken shops, bingo halls
and strip-clubs, you’ll
likely find Barnaby Carder.
Otherwise known as Barn
the spoon can be spotted
in the front of his shopcome-
workshop, with
an axe in one hand and
something between a hunk
of wood and a spoon in
the other. -
Pascale Marthine Tayou
?I make art because I
think about the world, I
ask myself who we are,
what it is we do, and what
consequences that has for
humanity. That is BOOMERANG.
We are all boomerangs.”

gin with the world. Often
found cruising the East
London waterways abroad
his vessel Fletcher, Ross

a lifelong love of beautiful
design.
