“Passing Clouds, hidden away in
northeast London, is a great venue
for live music. It’s like a warehouse,
there’s a good atmosphere, it’s very
friendly. I always end up meeting
someone interesting.”
Linda Rost

“It rains a bit in London, as you may
have heard, so it’s good to know some
interesting indoor spots. I especially
like the Old Cinema in Chiswick, a vast
space—they call it a vintage depart-
ment store—full of creative ideas for
using old things in new ways.”
Mike McGrath
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER,
QUERCUS PUBLISHING
“Kew Gardens has these enormous
glass houses filled with plants from
faraway continents, but the best thing
is just roaming around the grounds,
sitting under trees you could never
hope to identify.”
