Londoners!!! Top places to go, best places to eat, etc?

I'm going in two weeks, I've had absolutely no time to truly research, though I'm aware of the main things to see, like Parliament, Stratford, Buckingham palace

I guess what I'm wondering is, where's the best record stores? small music venues that have great acts, best pubs and such, cool things that are kind of golden nuggets, the places YOU go to eat at, not what is recommended to us dumbass tourists.

All that jazz, I know, a lot to ask, but I want to dive into the culture, I refuse to sit on f-ing tourist busses or something. Not me.

P.S. Best rugby stadium? I watch on Anthony Bourdain he was at a rugby field with 14 pubs. Hell yes...which one is that???

One place I liked was Villandry's. It's a bar, restaurant, foodstore, and bakery all rolled into one!



I could've sworn that the rugby stadium with the pubs was on Dhani Tackles the Globe...it's tough to mix up Anthony Bourdain and Dhani Jones.



Anywhoo, the stadium is Welford Road Stadium. Address: Aylestone Road, Leicester, LE2 7TR.
