Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Woodside Park

"This North London bakery describes itself as ‘a bit health conscious’: cakes contain low fat and sugar, but enough to ensure they taste delicious. Cutter & Squidge cakes make the perfect centrepiece for a big celebration too: the Macron Drip Cake, for instance, is a layered creation decorated with macarons, topped with chocolate shards and finished with 24 carat gold. Vegan cakes are also available, and everything can be personalised."

"The menu at this Soho dessert stop features a lot of the delicious treats mentioned on this blog, but most famous are their biskies – a biscuit/cookie/cake hybrid filled with tasty buttercream, jams and caramels. Flavours include passion fruit and salted caramel, apple crumble, chocolate lava and miso caramel. If you’re feeling extra naughty, order one of their indulgent freakshakes to go with it."

"Nestled in the heart of Soho lives Cutter & Squidge, artisan cake makers who specialise in extravagance and wonder. Serving up slices of uniquely flavoured and decorated cakes along with their signature Biskie - a mix of cake, biscuit and cookie topped with marshmallow, buttercream and other goodies - it’s a one-of-a-kind shop in London. And it’s not just for the dairy eaters and gluten-friendly."

"Having started out as a small street food stall, its innovative use of tangy sourdough has turned its sweet treats into a London must-try.

Various locations, crosstowndoughnuts.com"

"Soft and dense like cake, full of banana flavour – in the dough and icing – plus a filling of chunky cherry compote all the way round, Crosstown’s new banana cake doughnut is now an unmisseable part of the range."

"The second restaurant from Lyle’s chef-patron James Lowe, Flor, offers a more informal style of eating. This compact two-storey wine bar-restaurant-bakery sits on the edge of busy Borough market. Small sharing plates like the mussel flatbread with Spenwood cheese and garlic have had customers flocking since its opening in 2019."

"From the people behind Michelin starred Lyles comes Flor - a wine bar, bakery and restaurant in Borough Market. Settle in upstairs for great views of the street below and ask for recommendations – the team here know their stuff."

"A post shared by Frankonia The Bread House (@frankoniathebreadhouse) on May 12, 2020 at 5:13am PDT. Frankonia used to be wholesale only: pre-lockdown you'd only have had the pleasure of their pastries if you routinely hang about places like the Houses of Lords or Commons, The Ritz, and The Savoy. A swift pivot to retail and delivery means that now you can get their sourdough, dense, chewy rye and pastries sped directly to your door, via one of their pre-selected brunch/weekend packages."

"In June 2018, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries opened. The galleries, which are reached by the newly build Weston Tower, house historical exhibit and treasures owned by the Abbey. Admission to the Galleries is currently an extra £5.00 and requires a timed ticket as space is limited."

"All Souls Church Langham Place is one of the most famous London Churches because of its location next door to BBC Broadcasting House, at the northern end of Regent Street in the district of Marylebone. You often see this London landmark in BBC broadcasts, and its easily recognisable because of its distinctive Neoclassical circular columned front and spire. It was designed by John Nash, architect to the Prince Regent (later King George IV), who was also responsible for remodelling Buckingham Palace and the layout of St James’s Park."

"Wembley Stadium is England’s National football stadium located in Wembley Park, in the Borough of Brent, London, England. It opened in 2007 and was built on the site of the previous 1923 Wembley Stadium. The earlier Wembley stadium, originally called the Empire Stadium, was often referred to as "The Twin Towers" and was one of the world's most famous football stadiums until its demolition in 2003."

"Although it has recently moved sites, Wembley Stadium remains one of the most iconic centrepieces in London. Major concerts are showcased here, including past acts like Bruce Springsteen and AC/DC, as well as a host of football games that feature England’s national team. Even if you aren’t a football (or soccer) fan, it doesn’t mean that Wembley hasn’t got a ton of stuff to offer tourists."

"This stadium replaced the old Wembley Stadium that existed since 1923. The current stadium was built only in 2007. It features a sliding roof that is 52 meters above the pitch."

"This dog-friendly east London café is certainly one to add to your London vegan food roster. Not only is there a full vegan English breakfast, complete with crispy hash browns, roasted plum tomatoes and grilled sourdough dripping in creamy vegan butter, they also serve seriously generous portions, leaving even the hungriest of customers full. There’s far more than fry ups on offer, though: the spicy coconut ramen is a delightful winter warmer, served with silky tofu, shiitake mushrooms and thick udon noodles deliciously slurped up when drizzled in hot chilli oil."
