"Around the corner from Columbia Road, on higgledy-piggledy cobbles that feel like a European holiday after too many glasses of wine in the sun, you’ll find Campania & Jones. It’s got mismatched wooden chairs that bring to mind a dusty antique shop run by a Ben Kingsley lookalike, and all around you romances are being formed or rekindled. The Italian dishes aren’t the best in the city, but for pure charm and romantic nook-loveliness, it’s hard to beat this candlelit Hackney spot.
