ANSWERS
MOSTLY A: you are Camden
You’re often found walking on Hampstead Heath, or enjoying an almond croissant at GAIL’s Bakery after a morning workout. On the weekend, you’ll be having a sophisticated dinner with friends or heading to the Roundhouse to see your favourite indie band who you discovered on Spotify.
Why not try… Hook dishes up freshly caught fish sourced from 100 per cent sustainable fisheries, day-boats, and local suppliers. They also serve vegan tacos, so there’s something for everyone on their eco- conscious menu. Even the packaging is recycled and the take-away cutlery is biodegradable.
MOSTLY B: you are Hackney
You’re always ahead of the curve when it comes to trends and have your finger on the pulse at all times, whether that be wellness, music, fashion or food. Your friends consider you “the cool one” of the group and you certainly have the credentials to fill the role.
Why not try… Not only does Palm Vaults serve the best avocado on toast with vegan bacon bits (yes, you read that right), they also guarantee a great Instagram-worthy pic. The tropical interiors will make you feel as though you’ve been transported to South Beach, while the lavender lattes will give you a new lease of life.
MOSTLY C: you are Lambeth
You love food and know where to go for all the best dishes, keeping your finger on the cultural pulse but also holding a place in your heart for good old fashioned stuff. Most importantly, you’re proud to call yourself a south Londoner.
Why not try… For a spot of free culture, pop into Newport Street Gallery, where you’ll find a selection of works from Damien Hirst’s personal collection. The expansive gallery, split over two floors, features 3,000 works from well-known artists including Francis Bacon, Banksy, Tracey Emin and Jeff Koons.
MOSTLY D: you are Richmond
Dog walks in Richmond Park – whether you have a hound or not – are a staple on a Sunday afternoon. You’re a fan of tradition, but also love to explore new trends and indulge in cultural travel from time to time.
Why not try… With clean, crisp interiors and strong home-brewed coffee, Kiss the Hippo is the perfect post-long walk pit stop. At least 80 per cent of its coffee is sourced from certified organic producers and roasted in-house.
Mostly E: you are Croydon
Your’e aware of trends, but aren’t a slave to them and enjoy your home comforts more than anything. However, you love going out and discovering new bars and restaurants with friends and will find any excuse to socialise after work.
Why not try… Boxpark in Croydon houses every cuisine imaginable under one roof. With a capacity of 2,000 people, the 80-container area has a warm community feel, and is perfect for a quick lunch or meet up with friends after work for drinks and nibbles.
