I spend most of my time hanging around Kilburn and Camden, pretty much in the vicinity of Chalk Farm, with the odd excursion down to the Victoria at Mornington Crescent. The Enterprise is my fav pub, though the Dublin Castle comes pretty close, if only it weren't so hot in the summer. Downtown, I've recently discovered he Phoenix, behind Oxford Circus, which is dead good. A great Friday night downstairs n all. Endurance in Soho is a goodie.
I used to like having smug breakfasts on Sunday or Saturday morning in West Hampstead, normally La Brioche or the Wet Fish Cafe. Actually not the Wet Fish, because last time I was there the chorizo and scrambled egg was bland as hell and the Spinach and Ricotta tart thing just dire. Now a no go zone. Now I prefer non smug breakfast in Kilburn, which are much better and easier on teh wallet. Non Camden evenings are taken up with trips to openings and exhibitions, usually The Serpentine or the Whitechapel Gallery, but occasionally the V&A or the Tate or the John Soane or something. When I'm not out and about I like to sit around reading or watching useless shows on TMF. And I like making my own iced coffee, but can rarely be bothered to do so.
And I'm sort of obsessed with Guitar Hero 2, which is brilliant. I'm stuck on the last bunch of songs on the 'hard' setting though. I love 'Crazy on You' by Heart and 'Carry on Wayward Son' by Kansas.
But more than all this, I like to sit on the bench by the church on Wardrobe Terrace with a pretty girl and drink red wine in the winter.
