"đłđČđżâïžđđđ±The Sky Garden at 20 Fenchurch Street is a unique public space that spans three storeys and offers 360 degree uninterrupted views across the City of London. Visitors can wander around the exquisitely landscaped gardens, observation decks and an open air terrace of what is London's highest public gardenđČđłđŽđ±đâïžđż #skygarden #london #beautiful #views #restaurant #stunning #londonbridge #bigben #toweroflondon #theshard #mustsee.

"Located on floor 36 of the iconic Walkie Talkie, the views from the Darwin Brasserie are pretty striking. Although Fenchurch Restaurant â one of Sky Gardenâs other offerings â is higher, the Darwin Brasserie has better views thanks to its position further back from the Sky Gardenâs atrium roof. A good option if you want to enjoy the sights without the flocks of camera totting tourists."
"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."
"When Chin Chin first opened their first place in a former condom shop (yes, really) in Camden their crazy take on making ice cream with liquid nitrogen may have been pre-Instagram but it was still an almost instant sensation. The thing is that it's not just a party trick, the ice cream they make here really does taste smoother because there are no ice crystals. They've also used their USP to devise a clever way of chilling ice cream down to a level that it can actually be sent by post."
"Donât go to Chin Chin Labs for your average cake and cookie because âsimpleâ really isnât in their vocabulary. They are most famous for their ice-cream made with liquid nitrogen but what a lot of people donât 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."
"A post shared by Cutter & Squidge (@cutterandsquidge) on May 28, 2018 at 5:50am PDT. Just yards away from its previously successful pop-up space, Cutter & Squidge's Soho home is full of sweet delights. Choose from a wide selection of its speciality biskies, or opt for vegetarian marshmallows, dream cakes, honeycomb or its award-winning salted caramel."
"Vanilla sponge with apple jam, cinnamon buttercream â custardy, sweet, perfectly spiced â crispy white chocolate pearls, biscuit crumbs and an apple crisp to finish. It has all the flavours of a traditional apple pie, but itâs lighter and wonderfully soft. 20 Brewer St, London W1F 0SJ. Currently online only."
"Itâs pretty, itâs pink and the cakes and treats are equally as gorgeous to eat as well as look at. Their famous for their âbiskieâ 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."
"Everyone's favourite neighbourhood haunt, this canal-side spot has been al fresco since way before it was fashionable. Headed up by Lori Di Mori, a daily changing blackboard offers scrumptious toasties, salads and fresh bakes. Tiny chairs and tables are crammed along the hilariously nicknamed "Haggerston Riviera", where you'll jostle for space with bearded hipsters and designer whippets."
"Towpath is excellent and serves deceptively simple, nourishing plates â likely heavy on Marinda tomatoes, pastel-leaved radicchio, and lentils enlivened by spoonfuls of mustard and buoyant handfuls of herbs."
"Summerâs official starting-gun isnât swallows or the clocks going forward â itâs the first cone of creamy fig gelato from Nardulli, eaten on Clapham Common before the grass gets obliterated by the South West Four stage. The decor at Lorenzo Nardulliâs parlour is definitely no frills, but the ornate tubs of traditional liquorice, Bacio and coffee have a grandeur all of their own. Also available are affogati, ornate ice-cream cakes and waffles."
"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Clapham. On sunny Saturdays the queue for Nardulli stretches most of the way back to Clapham Common tube station. You wonât find any techy whizz-bangery here: just classic gelati (valrhona chocolate, liquorice, macadamia nut) made the old-fashioned way."

"For proper crepes and galettes with a Brazillian twist What to eat?. The El Egg Ranchero Galette (Chorizo, egg, onions tomato chutney, beans, jalepenos, guacamole, parsley). If youâre on the hunt for crepes rather than American Pancakes in London then Senzala Creperie in Brixton is the place to head."
"Head down to Brixton Market where this bustling cafe celebrates all things crĂȘpes and galettes, with a Brazilian twist. Expect French classics like the ham, fried egg and cheese 'Complete' on the menu next to South American classics like chorizo, egg and guacamole."
"With an impressive selection of breakfast and brunch dishes, The Breakfast Club is a top choice if you're looking for delicious American food near London Bridge. You can even take a trip to the secret bar if good cocktails are your thing."
"If cookies stuffed with the likes of butterscotch cookie dough, peanut butter and chocolate ganache isnât enough to entice you, perhaps the fact that theyâre made by ex-Claridgeâs pastry chef Kimberly Lin is. Available for delivery nationwide, the vegan cookies come in five core flavours, alongside a sixth rotating seasonal option. Kimberley has spent the past year perfecting her recipes, using the best produce available such as Valrhona chocolate to ensure the utmost quality."
"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."
"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."
"A Swedish bakery and coffee shop, this spot is located in Edinburgh and in London and brings customers a variety of âclassicâs including the cinnamon and cardamom buns, Kladdkaka, Mazarins, pistaschio horseshoes and chocolate balls. Weâre a big fan of its Semla buns (think cardamom buns filled with almond paste and whipped cream). SoÌderberg also serves an all-day drinks menu of the usual breakfast staples (coffees, iced lattes and teas) as well as cocktails, wine, beer and spirits."
"Swedish bakery Soderberg made a name for themselves in their hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland and have now migrated South to Londonâs Soho. They offer authentically Swedish food including open sandwiches, cakes and of course no Scandi cafe would be complete without a freshly baked cinnamon bun. Catch them out of the oven when they are warm and squidgy."
"This Swedish-inspired bakery actually started in Edinburgh, where they have multiple bakeries, before expanding to London. The main events are their cinnamon and cardamom buns, kladdkaka, mazarins, pistaschio horseshoes and chocolate balls. Dine in and you can have waffles, open sandwiches and a very Swedish brunch."
"Restaurants American Soho. Like it says on the tin, you know where you are with the flashily decorated Burger & Lobster chain. Hand-minced burgers (made with Nebraskan beef) and lobsters (shipped over from Nova Scotia) are the star attractions, with back-up from lobster rolls, oysters and other affordably luxurious hits."
"Like it says on the tin, you know where you are with the flashily decorated Burger & Lobster chain. Hand-minced burgers and lobsters (shipped over from Nova Scotia) are the headliners, with backup from lobster rolls, âbeastâ combos and other affordably luxurious hits. Flagship site: 29 Clarges Street, W1J 7EF"
"This big, swanky restaurant in the City of London is worth a visit for the dĂ©cor alone. The ornate cornicing is the ideal accompaniment to the upmarket Italian cuisine and polished service. An import from Russia (the restaurantâs founder is Sicily-born Remo Mazzucato), Piazza Italiana has brought with it a Muscovite enthusiasm for caviar, which is served with pancakes, quail eggs, crĂšme fraiche and butter."
"This is the first London opening for a restaurant group that started out in Moscow. They'll have high end Italian food in a very impressive location."
