Guy Williams - Secret London

Guy tells us about some of his favourite Central and West London spots


Blackmarket Records, 25 D'Arblay St W1F

I've been getting vinyl from Goldie, Rap and the crew at Blackmarket for nearly 8 years now, they always have a great selection. I always look out for Stereo and Urbana from Madrid as well as Art Of Disco and imports I wouldn't get sent in the post.

Energie 31 Great Marlborough - Carnaby Street W1V / 47-49 Neal Street WC2

My favourite place to shop for clothes is Energie. They have branches on Carnaby St and Neal Street, where I can go to get T-shirts and jeans.

The Paradise, Kilburn Lane W10

My favourite place to eat and drink is the Paradise in Kilburn Lane. I often go there for Sunday roast with mates. It has a really rustic yet cosy feel and the food is always top notch. I haven't had a bad meal there yet!

Bambou, Percy St, W1

Bambu is housed in an old gentleman's cigar club and the food is ace, simple as that!

Queen's Park, Kingswood Ave NW6

I'd recommend sitting in Queens Park in the summer with some mates, a jug of Pimms and time to kill. The park is one of the best kept in London, very close to Queens Park tube near Maida Vale and is great for adults and kids...
