"Sky Garden is one of the modern but still equally famous attractions in London. Since its opening in 2015 on the 43rd floor of the "Walkie Talkie" building, the Sky Garden has gained a lot of popularity and has become one of London's best gardens to visit. This attraction serves as a public park for visitors on top of a commercial building."
"At the Sky Garden youâll get panoramic views of the city and you can also stop for food and drink. You have to book a ticket in advance to visit but itâs free. Head to skygarden.london for more info."
"Must try: Griddled vegan cookie dough with burnt butter ice cream. Chin Chin is Europeâs very first liquid nitrogen ice-cream parlour and one of the best spots to discover some of the most unique and delicious desserts in London. Their exciting selection of ice cream flavours are frozen with liquid nitrogen in giant tanks, in a space that looks more like a mad scientists lab than a dessert parlour."
"The Lowdown: âLook no further for quirky hot chocolates than Camden Marketâs Chin Chin Labs â Europeâs first liquid nitro ice cream parlourâ. They have pimped up the hot chocolate experience â expect a delicious hot chocolate, complete with torched homemade marshmallow fluff. For your Instagram feed alone, itâs something you simply must try."
"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."
"This North London bakery describes itself as âa bit health consciousâ: 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 â 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 youâre feeling extra naughty, order one of their indulgent freakshakes to go with it."
"A Biskie is a sandwiched dessert thatâs essentially a cross between a cake and a cookie and is filled with cream or other ingredients. You can find Biskies only at Cutter and Squidge, a cute little bakery with locations in Soho and Bank. Their Salted Caramel Biskie is award winning and if youâre vegan or GF youâll still find delicious options to choose from."
"I'm sure you've seen Drunch all over your Instagram â it's good food and good vibes. With delicious drinks, a huge selection of food, and a unique aesthetic, Drunch is the go-to place for brunch. They serve it all day and also have an Ă la carte dinner menu."
"There are a lot of good coffee shops, but I like Esquires in Windsor town centre. Itâs very casual, with excellent coffee and a really nice selection of cakes and sandwiches. Nothing fancy, itâs a nice place to sit, overlooking the castles."
"Restaurants Italian Holland Park. Born in Italy but now trading across London, cheery family-owned Unico is part gelateria, part caffè. If you fancy a luscious lick or two, there are 13 âclassicâ and âgourmetâ flavours to choose from, plus vegan options and some guest stars (theyâve been known to whip up the odd batch of Vegemite gelato)."
"Restaurants Australian Shoreditch. Lantanaâs weekend brunch menu rings the changes when compared to the standard menus on offer throughout the week. A few classics (think smashed avocado and honey granola with Greek yoghurt) sit alongside more unusual assemblies including duck and sweet potato hash, a salmon poke bowl and a pork belly bĂĄnh mĂŹ burger with gochujang mayo."
"Floozie Cookie founder, pastry chef Kimberly Lin, has a CV that includes Claridgeâs, The Savoy and Dominique Ansel Bakery. Sheâs made a name for herself with Floozie which specialises in vegan stuffed cookies. Options might include Pecan Pie - butterscotch cookie dough, topped with toasted pecans and stuffed with date caramel."
"How does a vanilla cookie coated with crispy cinnamon cereal, and stuffed with rich speculoos cream sound?. Like something you want in on?. Well itâs your lucky day, because this Covent Garden pop-up turned nationwide cookie delivery service is delivering boxes of its vegan stuffed cookies around the country."
"A soft-and-crisp, pecan-studded butterscotch cookie with a filling of date caramel, itâs creamy in the centre, warming â not sugary sweet â and completely vegan too. 5 James St, London WC2E 8BH. Open for take-away and nationwide delivery."
"Lose yourself amongst the stone pines, olive trees, and cypresses of this typical Mediterranean landscape. The King William's Temple stands in the middle of the garden, lending a sense of grandeur to the vibrant landscape."
"The Davies Alpine House is a somewhat different greenhouse, it is quite long (16m) and high (10m) and was designed to provide ideal conditions, fresh with natural wind for the best conditions the mountain plants. The collection features a wide range of campanulas, dianthus, small ferns, helichrysum, small lavenders, primulas, saxifrage, thymus, tulips and verbascums along with lesser known species."
"Many of the plants at Kew couldn't survive in Britain's grey, damp climate. The Davies Alpine House supports those that thrive in dry, cool, windy conditions of mountainous areas such as succulents and campanulas,"
