Konaki
6 Coptic StFamily-run taverna with an extensive Greek menu and a flower-filled summer courtyard.
Italian family restaurant that has been here before the area got trendy and has a friendly relaxed vibe. Its always crowded and its best to reserve a table, but its a great contrast to the tourist places in town.

Norfolk Arms
28 Leigh StTapas style menu in an old pub with friendly atmosphere.
Iranian/Indian - excitin variation on an Indian restaurant, in an interesting setting. A vast place, but still cosy and always very busy - no reservations. The setting in the newly converted area behind Kings Cross is also interesting and worth to go to anyway.

Very traditional Pub, with wood panelling, fire in the winter and hidden away in a little alley that runs between Hatton Garden and Ely Place.

Iconic setting, modern art and great views. You can take the no 17 bus and get off at St. Paul's Cathedral or just wonder over there and then take the "wobbly bridge" over towards the Tate. Don't take the main entrance, but go to the right hand side, to take in the Turbine Hall in all its glory.

What used to be a traditional London market, with everything from clothes to fresh fruit and veg, is slowly turning into a take away haven, but it still has a market vibe during the week and the new independent coffee shops that have opened up along the road are worth a trip on a lazy weekend morning.
