Great for fashion
Spitalfields Market offers a really great day out shopping and eating. It is clean, covered and has a great atmosphere. The products on offer are mainly fashion and they all seem to be independent designers offering great unique designs. The quality also appears to be much better than the average market stall, but be wary that prices will also increase with it. There are some food stalls offering great snacks but there are also the restaurants. So, food-wise, you’re also spoilt for choice. If you love independent fashion, great food and you’ve just been paid, then you could spend a whole day here and still need more time! All in all, a great place to spend a Sunday (even if it’s raining).

As expected from Apple
When you walk into the store, you are just taken aback by the sheer size of the space they have. There is plenty of room to move about and plenty of gadget and gizmos areas to keep you entertained. Staff are really friendly and know what they’re talking about. They always endeavour to solve your Apple-related problems. Apple offers free workshops and presentations, and there is a dedicated area upstairs to the back of the building, but I have never attended any. There are plenty of laptops to get free access to the internet and if you love Apple products, then no doubt, you will feel like you’re in heaven.

Window shopping
What an amazing place. Although the goods are out of my price range, it is still worth going to have a nosey at the weird and wonderful items that have been sourced from all over the world. There are numerous floors and departments offering different luxury products including a great food department. The only bad point being that it is always so busy with people like me, visiting like it’s a tourist attraction. But I suppose they thought of that as they have a department dedicated to Harrods embossed gifts. Good place to window shop. If you do visit, be careful not to buy something you really can’t afford!

It's a bar
Not the best place for food but it’s quite cheap and edible in a way. The menu has the usual kind of food you get at a bar/pub. I haven’t eaten in the restaurant but I assume it would be the same food in the bar area. There are cocktails at the bar and a wide variety of drinks and special promotions on at times on both food and drink. The place seems to attract business people having a drink after work, and gets crowded towards the late evening. If you just need something to line the stomach before the night out then why not, but it’s definitely not a destination restaurant, it’s a bar.

Great Laugh
I have been a few times and it always entertains. The room itself isn’t huge so it’s quite an intimate and cosy experience. There is a bar area at the back serving drinks and food. I have never eaten here I can’t say much about the food. Obviously, it depends on the person as to whether you find it funny, but I think there’s enough of an array of comedians on the night to cater for most personalities. Most of the time there is an element of audience participation; just don’t sit on the front row! Great for laugh any day.

Great atmosphere
This place has a really nice, lively and family-friendly atmosphere. The food is American themed and there is plenty of choice on the menu. The décor is wonderful and adds to the great feel of the restaurant. The food is really nice and definitely leaves you feeling full. But do remember it is at London prices but you get some decent food and atmosphere. They do sometimes do specials; when we went, there was a special menu that was cheaper. The service is polite and relatively quick. For a meal after the theatre, it’s well placed and inviting enough for a try.

Strange
This place is quite a strange mix of things - shops, arcade, bar, pool, and food. I’m not quite sure what or who this place is trying to cater for. It’s true that there are a lot of kids hanging around the arcade but isn’t that who it’s aimed at. There is also a bar and pool area tucked away, if you can find it. There are various shops there but it’s not somewhere you immediately think to go shopping at either. So, I think this place is lacking in some direction and being in the centre of London, it could try harder. There’s nothing interesting to draw the crowd in.

Amazing
Great experience, just once. Although the ticket is quite pricey, I think it’s worth experiencing it just the one time. You are booked into a time slot and then you queue when that time arrives, this means that you shouldn’t need to queue for long before you get on. They put quite a big group together in one pod (you have to jump on it while it’s still moving!) but not too many to be over crowded. The view is breathtaking and it’s nice to just watch London in a quiet space. It takes about half an hour to get all the way around but I think that’s enough to get some great shots on the camera and take in the view.

Interesting museum
Nice, cosy museum. The rooms are decorated to match the exhibition on at the time, which creates a really nice atmosphere. Even though the building itself is relatively small, there is a feeling of space. The exhibitions are varied and very interesting. Most of them have factual information that provides the story behind the exhibition which is a great read. Photography is generally allowed so I have got some great pictures from some beautiful light displays. The shop at the entrance is wonderful, full of weird and interesting items from all over the world that are perhaps not available anywhere else. Great little museum.

Nice food and friendly atmosphere
Nice experience and staff was friendly and helpful. The seating is quite close together as the venue is quite small itself so you can almost share your dinner with the couple on the next table. We got a seat right opposite the kitchen so you can watch the busy chefs doing what they do best, which was nice. The food was very tasty but not food that I would normally eat. I think it aimed to introduce food combinations that were different and it did not disappoint. We went for lunch but would love to try the taster menu or breakfasts one day but need to save up for it first. I had a great time.
