Usually, I can't drag my guests out of this place. Terrific market with a vast array of food truck vendors offering international foods on the weekends at the north end. On a nice day, it is terrific to lunch while sitting at one of tables enjoying live music.

If you are looking for a special place to get your hair done, I highly recommend this Holland Park gem. They work miracles with hair colour and produce very natural gorgeous treatments. Terrific but very pricey.
