DUBAI
This is really rather handy, and very close to how we try and remember the location and order of French wines – “follow the valleys and rivers, and X is next to Y, etc”. Makes more sense for remembering than coloured appellation blobs. We would love to see the rest of the world designed in this style.

JAPAN CENTRE - WESTFIELD STRATFORD
Confession time, I am in love with the Japan Centre in Westfield Stratford.
It began by accident with a wrong turn on the way to John Lewis and has developed into full blown obsession; I think about it, I tell my friends about it and yesterday I snuck out on my own for a cheeky dumpling/ramen/nigri.
A supermarket, cafe and sake bar in perhaps not the most atmospheric of spots - opposite Waitrose in the corner of Westfield - the Japan Centre is pretty low key considering how fantastic the food is.
Look at the food:
(Clockwise: assorted nigri, tempura don, assorted rolls)
The shop sells all sorts of food stuff, weird drinks and books and bits (sushi rubbers) that would make a perfect Japanese Christmas hamper.
