From going out to galleries, eating out to entertainment, the in-crowd give us their recommendations

If you want to know about the newest restaurants, coolest food pop-ups and best undiscovered, off-the-beaten-track eateries, then you'll want to get following @hollowlegs (or TV producer Lizzie Mabbott, as she's known in the real world) on twitter. Over on her brilliant food blog Hollow Legs she'll even teach you how to cook a few things from comforting  mushroom ragu and polenta to Sichuan recipes such as red-braised beef with noodles. She also features photographic run-downs of menus that'll make your mouth water harder than the Trevi fountain, so you'll want to line-yourself up a few dinner dates after a quick click-around. Here's where she's eating and hanging right now...

My local, The Great Exhibition on Crystal Palace Road, is great for booze – they put on some interesting bands and there's always a good atmosphere. And it's virtually opposite my house.

On a Saturday night you’ll find me at The Effra Social in Brixton, or The Montpellier in Peckham. I rarely go 'up town' (central or Shoreditch) at the weekend unless there's a specific occasion – I'm too lazy to leave my endz.

If I could only eat in one restaurant for the rest of my life, it’d be Silk Road, Camberwell – it never disappoints me. And if I ate there all the time, I still wouldn't be totally bankrupt. 

The Ledbury in Notting Hill is best for a fancy dinner. They look after you incredibly well and the food is stunning.

Koya in Soho is best for a cheap dinner. They specialise in udon noodles and I bloody love noodles. All their dishes, especially the specials, are stunning. 

I've always veered towards Oriental food; at the moment, I'm having fun exploring Japanese food, be it the down n' dirty ramen and katsu curries, or the more usual teriyaki and sushi. 

I'm a big fan of Bone Daddies. I go there alone, I go there with friends – their bowls of noodles are a beautifully crafted, special thing.

London is best for cheap, ethnically diverse food. New York does it well too, but I don't think there are many cities in Europe where you can feast on Xinjiang and Sichuan food, side by side with a specialist udon bar, Japanese ramen, and still be within half an hour of a Pakistani grill house that serves the best lamb chops I've chomped on. We're very lucky in London.

Pop ups are a great way to discover new things. It's a good opportunity for people who have talent but don't necessarily have the means or opportunity to get their talents recognised. My best discovery was Bao London – I went to one of their pop-ups a few months ago and now I try and go to all of them – they are fantastic. 

Outside of London, I love anything seaside-based; walking along a beach, fish & chips, building sandcastles, running away screaming from seagulls dive-bombing your ice cream – that sort of thing. 

My taste in TV isn't what you'd call high-brow. I’m binging on Game of Thrones at the moment. I’m reading it too. I can't wait for them to spend years on filming it, I need to know what's happened!
