"Nothing, absolutely nothing, connects people like loving and/or despising the same films. The Lion King was your ticket to friendship in primary school, and these days, your best mates know exactly how you feel about Kubrick. Electric Diner in Notting Hill is next door to the Electric Cinema, and you’ll often find people in animated chats about whatever film they’ve just wandered out of. But, that’s not the only reason this American-style diner is a conversation hot spot. Electric Diner has the combination of a lovely yet lively atmosphere, very shareable sides (shoutout to the mac ‘n’ cheese) and, a cocktail called ‘payday’ which could make even two paper bags best friends. If you’re not part of a Facebook Spike Lee fan club by the end of the night, then that’s on you." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
