My favourite Off-West End Theatre in London. They put on some great productions (a few don't always work, but that's part of the fun!) and they have a Pay What You Can night every Tuesday evening.

One of my favourite places to swim! Open air, heated. When it's dark and the flood lights are on it feels like you're swimming in a witches cauldron from all the steam coming off the water. Magical.
