"For a lunch date to remember, 155 meters high at the top of the famous āWalkie-Talkieā building, the Sky Garden offers spectacular views of the city. But itās the incredible tropical garden which makes this iconic London landmark a must-see. There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, but for informal yet stylish lunchtime dining, we highly recommend Darwinās Brasserie to take in some of the best views of the city."
"A magnificent three-floor space,Ā Sky GardenĀ hosts two of the most exclusive rooftop restaurants in London: Fenchurch Restaurant and Darwin Brasserie, and two exciting rooftop bars: Sky Pod Bar and City Garden. Sky Pod Rooftop Bar is open all day from early morning coffees, through to lunchtime bites and afternoon drinks, while at night it comes alive with music, lights and cocktails.skygarden.london"
"Chin Chin Ice Cream was lauded as Europe's first liquid nitrogen ice cream parlour when it opened up in 2010 and it hasnāt taken long for that style to get a foothold in the favour of the general populace. Chin Chin now boasts multiple outlets across London where the clever clogs behind the counter are hand-churning enticing ice cream flavours like tonka bean and burnt butter caramel with liquid nitrogen. Adding liquid nitrogen means that the fat and water particles in the ice cream remain small and tightly knitted together during the freezing operation, resulting in intensely creamy ice cream."
"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."
"The ice cream pioneers behind Chin Chin Labs have expanded its epicurean empire. The Chin Chin Club in Soho opens this month as a revolutionary cake and ice cream club. On the menu are deluxe sundaes, choux buns, and cookies with molten centres."
"The menu at this Soho dessert stop features a lot of the delicious treats mentioned on this blog, but most famous are their biskiesĀ ā a biscuit/cookie/cake hybrid filled with tastyĀ buttercream, jams and caramels. Flavours include passion fruit and salted caramel, apple crumble, chocolate lava and miso caramel. If youāre feeling extra naughty, order one of their indulgent freakshakes to go with it."
"Fun shop, fun website, inventive creations ā two sisters established this Soho mecca and are always a step ahead of foodie trends. The sisters explain, āWe are a bit health conscious and are not fans of overly fatty or sugar laden foods, so we always keep our fat and sugar content to ājust as much as needed to make something deliciousā."
"Itās pretty, itās pink and the cakes and treats are equally as gorgeous to eat as well as look at. Their famous for their ābiskieā creations which are a cross between a cake and a cookie sandwiched with cream or chocolate. If you prefer you can go for one of their perfectly presented cakes by the slice."
"Not only does Luminary Bakery make some of the finest cakes in town, itās all for a good cause. The social enterprise aims to offer opportunities for disadvantaged women, using baking as a tool to take women on a journey to employability, equipping them with transferrable skills for the working world. Its celebration cakes are beautifully designed, with flavours including almond, cherry and chocolate; lemon and blueberry; and sticky toffee."
"Comfortably nestled around Chalk Farm Road, Luminary Bakery is more than just a bakery: it's a social enterprise designed to help women who have had a social and economic disadvantage build a future for themselves. Luminary Bakery uses baking as a tool to take women on a journey to employability and entrepreneurship, equipping them with transferable skills for the working world. They also produce some pretty wonderful bakes, too."
"Lemon sponge with fresh blueberries, lemon buttercream and a chunky, lemon-infused crumble on top, itās tangy and super lemony but also a little buttery and sweet. 71-73 Allen Rd, London N16 8RY or 47 Chalk Farm Rd, London NW1 8AJ. This list does not include the incredible cakes from Crumbs & Doiles as the Soho shop currently isnāt selling the slices."
"In a nutshell: Ace museum cafe from the Anchor & Hope team Where is it?. 1 Geffrye Street, London, E2 8JH Why should you care?. The Hoxton museum has a new all-day cafe and bistro from the team who brought us the Anchor & Hope and The Clarence Tavern."
"All of the goods onsite, including the ingredients for the dishes, cleaning products and drinks, are 100% plant-based and never tested on animals. Pop by to enjoy the nutty aroma of roasted coffee and scour the menu, where all of the ingredients and flavourings used are spelled out for you so you know exactly whatās in your food. Foodism loves the NY bagel with miso umeboshi cream cheese, salt roasted beetroots with dill, and the Caribbean stew piled high with fluffy steamed rice and fried, toffeeish plantains."
"As their slogan, āEat Dirty, Vegan Styleā would suggest, Rudyās Dirty Vegan Diner serves up American-style comfort food, such as burgers, hotdogs, buffalo wings, sandwiches, mac n cheese, fries and more!. The Reuben sandwich and the mozzarella sticks are firm fan favorites. Not only this but theyāre also known for their incredible vegan milkshakes; think chocolate peanut butter, banana biscoff and chocolate peppermint cream."
"If youāre looking for over-the-top vegan junk food that will convince even the most ardent of meat-eaters, then look no further than Rudyās Vegan Diner. The Camden Market-based diner offers all the staple US diner classics from The Dirty Burger to The Dirty Dog. Rudyās even offer a Reuben sandwich with all the trimmings, including sauerkraut and Russian dressing."
"In a nutshell: Restautant for the vegan butcher Where is it?. 206A Upper St Islington, London N1 1RQ Why should you care?. After the launch of their vegan 'butcher' (which has proven to be very popular indeed), Rudy's have brought their vegan diner to Islington right next door."
"Murger Han is a Xāian Chinese restaurant with branches in Euston, Mayfair and the City that seriously delivers the goods, and is super cheap too. The speciality here is Biang Biang noodles. They are made fresh in house every day and hand pulled by the chef into one giant 12 foot sheet and then cut into wide, thick strands before cooking."
"This is the third Murger Han and as in its other incarnations, they'll have a menu of Xiāan dishes made to family recipes with the Biang Biang noodles and the murgers themselves (slow-cooked meat in flatbread) being the biggest draw."
"Whilst waiting for your Childrenās Garden slot, why not treat yourself to a takeaway barista coffee and sweet treat, or a pizza from our weekend pizza oven."

"To escape the crowded streets and enjoy a picturesque, waterside side stretch of North London, take to the canals that once played such a vital role in the transport of goods across the capital. The towpath of the Regent's Canal also makes an excellent shortcut across North London, either on foot or by bike. In full, the ribbon of water runs 9 miles from Little Venice (where it connects with the Grand Union Canal) to the Thames at Limehouse."

Stroll down Chestnut Avenue to Hampton Court PalaceĀ or see trees full of mistletoe inĀ Bushy Park, the second largest of London's Royal Parks."
"Designated in September 2014 a Site of Special Scientific Interest, Bushy Park represents an enormous open natural space. The second largest of Londonās Royal Parks, Bushy Park is unique through its historical heritage and the large number of outdoor activities that it grants. When visiting Bushy Park, youāll have the opportunity to enjoy activities such as fishing, horse riding, hockey, rugby, cricket or simply relaxing in a comfortable cafĆ©."
"Lying to the north of Hampton Court Palace, the park, has a distinctly rural character and is home to around 320 free-roaming deer. The famous Arethusa 'Diana' Fountain forms the centerpiece to the famous Chestnut Avenue."
"Iām thinking Windsor Castle, or Hampton Court Palace ā both eminently explorable, and easy to reach with a car. If you want to save money on the above attractions, and will be visiting a few, then you should definitely consider investing in a London Pass. Available in 1, 3 and 6 day versions, the savings can really be quite impressive if you plan on visiting a few locations. You can read a full break down on if the London Pass is worth buying here, and buy one yourself here."
