Table Talk: Thea Løvstad
London Dining Recommendations
by Thea Løvstad, photographer & eco-artist
London-based photographer, Thea, brings serenity and beauty through her fine art practices while raising awareness about our changing climate. Our long time collaborator and friend generously shares her most frequented places to dine.
"To me, the best thing about living in London, is all the access to incredible food. It’s hard to pin it down to only three spots, but these are some of my favourite places to eat and drink."
SESSIONS ARTS CLUB, 24 Clerkenwell Grn, London EC1R 0NA
"Incredible food and impeccable interior. If you wish to treat yourself to something special, come here for lunch or dinner. But make sure to book in good time, it’s hard to get hold of a table."
107 Wine Shop & Bar (formerly P. Franco), 107 Lower Clapton Rd, Lower Clapton, London E5 0NP
"This is my local place where I go for natural wine and nibbles. What’s great is they have different chefs in residence, so the menu changes all the time and is always seasonal. They hold an impeccable selection of natural wines to take away or drink in."
JOLENE, 21 Newington Grn, Mayville Estate, London N16 9PU
"Probably the restaurant I have eaten the most in the last couple of years. If you want outstanding pastries, a proper good coffee, a delicious lunch or incredible pasta – they have it all. Oh, and also great natural wines and kombucha! Big plus for cosy interior. One of my absolute favourite places in London."l!
