@berkes there are so many wonderful things in London, I’ll just focus on ones local to you and less likely to make a guidebook.

Go see a gig at cafe Oto or EartH (better: both)
Coffee and cake the curve garden nearby
Longboard Strawberry Fields (you can listen to the Beatles if you choose)
Eat at Andu Ethiopian and Sen Viet Vietnamese; both vegan cafes
Walk Regents canal from De Beauvoir to Limehouse
Watch birds at Walthamstow Wetlands
Chill to jazz at the Nightjar in Shoreditch

@berkes totally agree.

And I’d add two things:

1) The grind of building your own thing is way more fun than the grind of building someone else’s. I’d go so far as saying I preferred the grind of my own thing over the excitement of someone else’s greenfield project

2) If you do a good job of the grind the opportunity to do an exciting new thing comes around again. We launched three complementary products to the original, one failed to gain traction, the other two found their place
