Ben Watt - Secret London
His top tips on places to visit in the capital...
Coram's Fields
Between Bloomsbury and Clerkenwell. Lovely secret public park built by philanthropist Thomas Coram in late 1700's. Basketball. Rabbits. Playground. Cafe. Post-gig summer chillin'
West Yard, Camden Lock
Cool second-hand bookshop, nice coffee, close to Buzzin' Fly offices (!) and crucially the waterbus to Regent's Park.
Plastic People, Shoreditch
The deadliest sound system in the most intimate club. For those loving sub-150 capacity clubs, this take some beating. Warm, friendly and rocking.
The River Reaches at Barnes and Putney
Summer evenings. Wide skies. Lazy river. Bishops Park. Fulham Football Ground. Duke's Meadow. Barnes Railway Bridge. Riverside pub.
Antique Watch Company, 19 Clerkenwell Road Listed building.
Every possible vintage watch you could ever want. Spares. Repairs. Old-school shopping rules!
