"If you guys have been following this blog for a while you may have realised that I am borderline obsessed with Sky Garden. I think itās not only one of the best views and best rooftop bars in London, but itās also very Instagrammable. The combination of stunning views over the rooftops of London, with modern architecture and green plants is a winner for me."
"Sky Garden is on top of one of the skyscrapers found in London. You can visit levels 35 through 37 of the "Walkie Talkie" for freeājust make sure to book a ticket in advance."
"Londonās first ice cream parlour made using liquid nitrogen, Chin Chin Labs is best known for their bold flavours, big scoops and scientific methods. The team wanted to create something which hadnāt been explored before and itās certainly done the trick because they now boast three outposts in London. Designed as a grab-and-go pit stop, their ice creams are great for scoring a āgram worthy image and fuelling you on your Sunday stroll around the city."
"Donāt go to Chin Chin Labs for your average cake and cookie because āsimpleā really isnāt in their vocabulary. They are most famous for their ice-cream made with liquid nitrogen but what a lot of people donāt know is they make and bake a whole load of cakes, cookies and pies downstairs in their in-house bakery. Find things like their naughty titty cakes, party cakes and hot cherry pies."
"Coffee ice cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and the fluffiest, softest cloud of whipped mascarpone cream, the base of this brilliant tiramisu mash-up is a thick, super rich, brownie-like cookie that is soaked in espresso for an extra gooey texture. The Chin Chin team have truly outdone themselves here. Address: 54 Greek St, London W1D 3DS or 49-50 Camden Lock Pl, London NW1 8AF"
"A biscuit isnāt quite a dessert ā unless itās in the hands of Cutter & Squidge, that is. Enter the Biskie, the Soho bakeryās signature dessert which sees two discs of a cake-cookie hybrid sandwich an array of flavoured creamy fillings. The chocolate sāmore version is filled with buttercream and a handmade marshmallow, while the blueberry cheesecake version layers jam, cheesecake cream and a wedge of digestive biscuit."
"We wonderedā¦"Can we vegan-ise our favourite blueberry lemon cheesecake cake?" š¤ Wonder no moreā¦ we did it!!. Blueberry buttercream, tangy cheesecake and vanilla sponge š° Head down to Soho today for a slice, also available online to order š.

"You'd be bonkers not to try one of their famous 'Biskies' (a merge between a cake and a biscuit - v moreish) while sitting in their secret garden."
"Restaurants CafĆ©s London Fields. Brown, buzzy and never overheated, Climpsonās on Broadway Market has the same qualities as its excellent flat whites, while helpful blackboard notes on the blends from its own roastery ram home the message: coffee first, conversation second. With retro cakes and avocado on sourdough also available, itās perfect for Saturday nights and Monday mornings."
"Broadway Market has a wealth of funky coffee shops but Climpson & Sons is one of the best of the bunch. Founded in 2005, theyāve been leading the way in Londonās coffee scene for a good while now and all it takes is a cheeky sip of a Climpson cortado to understand why. Their impressive range of espressos, blends, and single-origin beans are all roasted in their East London roastery with the ever-present queue being a sign of the spotās enduring success."
"Unsurprisingly, CrĆŖpeaffaire know a thing or two about flippin' good pancakes. Whether you have a sweet tooth or fancy something savoury, you won't be disappointed with CrĆŖpeaffaire's vast menu (including no-gluten options, winning!). From eggs Benedict to smoked salmon with cream cheese, channel your favourite brunch flavours in crĆŖpe form with their winning savoury breakfast-inspired menu."
"Crepeaffaire is a popular chain for a reason, as it serves up delicious desserts that never disappoint. Whether you fancy a classic Nutella crepe or want to push the boat out with something more outlandish, you wonāt find a better crepe in London. This is definitely one of the best desserts in London!"
"Rich Mix allows creativity in all its magnificent forms ā live music, theatre, poetry, film, art, design and drawing, so itās a little distinct from the other places on the list, but the charity behind the cross-media arts centre, The Rich Mix Cultural Foundation, has a pretty inspiring goal. And thatās to offer the public space to discover more about the creative offerings of people from various migrant populations. Since taking over the former clothing factory on Bethnal Green Road, Rich Mix has put on many free exhibitions, screenings and concerts."
"This fantastic creative space in the East End, on the site of what used to be in a leather factory, has regular exhibitions featuring emerging and established artists. 39-47 Bethnal Green Road, E1 6LA Free entryrichmix.org.uk"
"He was the 5th century Bishop of Arras who converted Clovis. āFosterā is an English bastardisation of his name. This was Wrenās cheapest church, as he was able to re-use some of the earlier walls."
"This is my nomination as the most beautiful of the churches in the City of London. It was also built bySir Christopher Wren, and Iād go so far as to say that itās a London must see. Itās a beautifully proportioned Church, appearing quite small from outside but inside thereās a soaring, lofty central dome and wonderful sense of space."
"St Stephen Walbrook has the most beautiful interior of all Wrenās churches reputedly. He was experimenting with his plans for St Paulās Cathedral. St Stephen is a variation on the same theme ā an un-English central dome married to a traditional English church plan of nave with aisles, chancel and crossing transepts."
"Sir Christopher Wren is best known for the design and construction of St Paulās Cathedral. He also built many other churches around London after the Great Fire. He probably did more to shape the appearance of London than any other single person, all the way through to the 19th century."
