00:00Alexa Chung, what is the best neighbourhood in London?

00:03I'm biased because I live there, but I think East London's the best.

00:05Specifically Hackney.

00:07When people visit London, they always stay somewhere random like Kensington or something.

00:11And I'm like, please, you have to come east.

00:13Although people do like stealing your mobile phone.

00:15Yes, I hear that.

00:16Someone tried to nick one off me the other day and I refused to let him have it.

00:18What's your secret?

00:19I was in the middle of a group chat and it was really fascinating.

00:22So just tight gripped.

00:23And I literally like tight gripped it and was like, f*** you.

00:25Best restaurants?

00:26Brat in Clemson Arches.

00:27I love Mountain, which is really delicious.

00:29I think I also just spat on you.

00:31For that, I'm sorry.

00:32I like sumi.

00:33Really delicious sushi.

00:35I love going to Dover Street Market to the Rose Bakery on my own and having lunch in there.

00:39Nice, so do not disturb Alexa if you see her in there.

00:41Right, don't come and approach.

00:43I'm busy with my soup and sandwich.

00:45Goodbye Horses is good.

00:47Truelo is great.

00:49What is the cutest restaurant to go on a date?

00:51Andrew Edmonds.

00:52Candle lit, Georgian townhouse.

00:54I love.

00:55Cozy, low key.

00:56Everybody looks better in the dark.

00:57Exactly, like let's get those lights down.

00:59I'm 21.

01:00You and me both.

01:01Best bar?

01:02I really like Hector's, which is like a wine bar.

01:05And then I love Jerry's in Soho.

01:07It's quote-unquote private members, but you can get in.

01:09It's very small.

01:10It's like a little cavern and it's really vibey.

01:12Are you a pub girl?

01:13I am a major pub girl.

01:15Okay, tell me about the pubs.

01:16The pubs always change because different crowds come in and whatever, but I do love the Spursto.

01:20There's one in Soho.

01:23It's called like the coffee shop or something.

01:26And it's actually an amazing pub.

01:28Speaking of coffee shops, are you a coffee drinker?

01:30I'm such a coffee drinker and I'm very, very specific about it.

01:32Okay, tell me everything.

01:33I need a flat white.

01:34In London you can get one, but in New York the flat white is misconstrued as a latte.

01:37Mmm, so too much milk.

01:40So I'm like, it's a Cortado with extra milk or a flat white with less milk.

01:43And then I spend my life desperate to bring a marker pen out and show them where I want

01:47it.

01:48But then that's too uptight.

01:49So just every day I'm slightly disappointed.

01:50Clothing stores.

01:51Well, honestly Dover Street Market, but that's if you're feeling really flash.

01:53Any cool brands coming out of London that you want to shout out?

01:56Yeah.

01:57A young brand named Burberry.

01:58There's a really young offbeat brand called Burberry that you might enjoy.

02:01I really like Connor Ives, Simone Rocher, but she's like classic at this point.

02:06Dilara.

02:07I mean, there's so many.

02:08The hairdressing salon.

02:09Okay.

02:10You've got to go to George Northwood.

02:11He's fantastic.

02:12He has a place in Holland Park.

02:13He also has one in Soho and one in Shoreditch.
