Places to Fall in Love

Arlo Parks

Singer-songwriter Arlo Parks won the Mercury Music Prize for her debut album Collapsed in Sunbeams in 2021, and she's become known for her confessional and lyrical songwriting that touches on themes like mental health and heartbreak. Her third record, Ambiguous Desire, sees her dive into club culture and late-night life.

SPACE TALK

Perfect blend of mid-century sunken living room and Japanese listening bar. An audiophile’s heaven.

CLOSE-UP CINEMA

Arthouse cinema and reference library - as a massive Kiarostami fan this place blew my mind.

LUCIA'S

Tiny and unassuming, delicious mezcal, get the cochinita pibil.

LITTLE DUCK THE PICKLERY

Dynamic seasonal menu - modern European influences and some exquisite natural wines.

V&A EAST STOREHOUSE

A hidden gem for a rainy, uninspired Sunday afternoon. A truly staggering creative archive.

LA CAMIONERA

Very special queer bar run by one of my best friends. Perfect patio for a glass of lambrusco, a dish of olives and a chat.

TARO

Hole in the wall Japanese spot, the owners are sweethearts. The plum wine hits.

CAFE OTO

A true shapeshifter of a space, a place for the outsiders, the lovers and the curious.

PRITCHARD & URE

Ultra secret spot, yummiest shakshuka I’ve ever had and a great poetry selection.

392 KINGSLAND ROAD

Favourite spot for some tasteful vinyl and a late night Old Fashioned.
