Start with a warm drink in an underground cave. Walk down the steps to Cosies, a unique bar tucked away in St Pauls. It is a perfect spot to wait out the early chill before the sun breaks.

Step out onto Ashley Road as the sun rises in the east. The light hits the colourful facades of the Afro-Caribbean centre, illuminating the street art and the friendly energy of the area. This is the moment the day begins.

Head to Thali Montpelier for a hearty breakfast. As the morning light settles, enjoy the volume of vegetarian Indian food that makes this place one of the best bargains in the city.

End your morning back at the library. Use the space to rest and reflect on the colourful surroundings before heading out.
