Classic Western: Lolak Afrique

Glowing coaks: Obalende Suya Express

Snack attack: Café Spice

'A famous snack shop with a window piled high with Nigerian treats. You'll find meat pies, puff puff (which are like African doughnuts), and meat sticks. The owner is proud of his authentic recipes.' 88 Rye Lane, SE15 4RZ.

Wrap artist: Momo’s
