The King's Head
This pub is great for their food and range of beers and ales. They even hold comedy nights and live music sessions here.

O'Neill's
Not your typical O'Neill's with its setting in a converted church. It still has its original features and a lively atmosphere at the weekend.

Banner's
If you ever find yourself very hungry, head on down to Banner's because the portions are huge! It's definitely very good value for money and the menu is so extensive, there's something for everyone.

Highgate Bathing Ponds
Tucked away just off Millfield Lane, it is a lovely quiet place to go and relax and walk - and even better when it is sunny!

Highgate Bookshop
Everything for the bookworm! Latest thriller or literary classics..
"Highgate cemetery is one of the most famous resting places in London thanks to Karl Marx, but other equally illustrious figures include the novelist Douglas Adams, TV broadcaster Jeremy Beadle and scientist Michael Faraday."
Highgate High Street has an amazing selection of upmarket shops, cafes and restaurants - I love being in the centre of them all!
Mike Tracy
From the ponds to the beautiful views, there is no better place to spend a sunny day than on Hampstead Heath.
Mike Tracy
When you work in Muswell Hill, sometime's it's easy to take views like these for granted...
