Goswell Road Coffee is my least favourite coffee shop in the area. It doesn't provide high-quality blends and extractions that other places do, but it is very convivial.

Workshop is a bit farther away, but it's ambience and selection of food and coffee is quite worth the 5min walk.
But it disappoints in not providing free wi-fi.

Busaba is a trendy Thai restaurant. Old street and Soho stores (on Floral St) have the chain's most disputed seats. It can be a life-saver in other parts of town (Westfield Stratford).

Exmouth Market is a walking-distance street filled with lively restaurants, coffee shops and a street market for lunchtime. Moro (and their smaller version Morito for tapas) is one of my favourites!

Sightseeing
It is unnecessary to describe a landmark such as St Paul's. The cathedral looming over the City and the river is just a short walk from the flat, as the shopping district around it.
