"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"
"For something a little different, head to Chin Chin Labs, the go-to parlour for liquid nitrogen ice cream in London. Watch as your dessert is frozen to order using a dash of liquid nitrogen, andĀ select fromĀ an exciting array of weekly-changing flavours at this cool cafe in Camden."
"I remember my first Chin Chin ice cream years ago back in Camden Market. At that point the brand was pretty new and out there, making ice cream sundaes using liquid nitrogen. It was theatrical and fun, but also really sweet and delicious."
"This North London bakery describes itself as āa bit health consciousā: 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."
"This sister-owned Soho bakery looks sweet, but isn't saccahrine. Using no more sugar and fat than they need, their inventive and joyfully decorated offerings are delicately, carefully flavoured. Cutter & Squidgeās Dream Cakes make for jaw dropping centrepieces for your big celebration, or can also be enjoyed by the slice in house ā the Lychee Kiss is an elegant flavour trio of lychee, raspberry and rose."
"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 - itās a one-of-a-kind shop in London. And itās not just for the dairy eaters and gluten-friendly."
"It has a curated feel due to the Duke of Bedfordās enlightened ownership and is very much a chain-free zone. Store Street Espresso is a friendly space that doubles as an art gallery. It manages to be ahead of the game, both in terms of the great coffee, and in suiting the needs of a wide range of locals, students and workers."
"They have two spots in London, with their Tavistock Place spot also serving brunch alongside their truly excellent coffee. For the original experience head along to their first shop on Store Street. No fuss, just really great quality coffee prepared by professionals."

"If you fancy rehydrating with a refreshing juice then head to the aptly-named Joe & The Juice in Richmond ā concoctions such as The Iron Man (made with strawberry, kiwi and apple) and the Energy Shake (made with raspberry, bananas and vanilla milk) are great refuelers."
"This Kingās Road landmark has been a place to be seen since opening back in 1997 ā even more so with its swish new look. Formerly a garage, Bluebird underwent a major refurbishment a couple of years ago courtesy of Sagrada, the designers behind The Arts Club, which split up the large space into neat sections. Both the street-level bar and first-floor restaurant feature plush interiors ā think exposed steel red beams, indoor trees and deep Chesterfield booths ā while the al fresco courtyard remains an idyllic summer spot."
"Restaurants Contemporary European Kingās Road. The main dining room of this Kingās Road branch of Bluebird CafĆ© looks like itās actually outside; it has a conservatory-style glass roof and loads, we mean loads, of plants. If you want to really get some fresh air, thereās a massive outdoor dining area with fake grass, umbrellas and garden-style furniture serving a Mediterranean menu."
"Modern European , French"
"CĆ“te Brasserie serve breakfast and brunch from 8am until 12 noon on a Monday to Friday and then 9am to 1pm on a Saturday and Sunday. Highlights include a breakfast set menu that involves any cooked breakfast with fresh orange juice or cloudy apple juice and a hot drink of your choice. Options include a full English breakfast, Crepe Complete (pancakes, bacon and comte cheese), Eggs Florentine, Eggs Royal and Eggs Avocado."
"There are Francophiles behind this nationwide French brasserie group ā that much is obvious. Every last detail, from the rattan terrace furniture ..." Read our full review"
"Park Plaza County Hall enjoys a superb location on the South Bank, rubbing shoulders with many of Londonās most famous attractions such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye. Named āBest Family Friendly Hotelā at the HRS Hotel Excellence Awards 2011, the hotel specialises in treating children like VIPs through its Family Fun in the City package. Spacious family rooms include substantial closets and plenty of space to relax and unwind, while Studio Rooms and Penthouse Apartments afford an enhanced feeling of indulgence with defined sleeping and living areas."
"This hotel is located in central London, and one of its most infamous attractions is āThe Lanesborough Suiteā which can be all yours for a night at the price of Ā£18000!. Other than exclusivity, the suite will also bring you access to a complementary concierge service and a Rolls Royce to drive around in. Its restaurant ā Apsleys, a Heinz Beck Restaurant ā is famous for having received a Michelin Star within five months of opening, thus establishing a world record."
"Smack dab opposite Hyde Park is the grand neoclassical Lanesborough, which, thanks to its stately good looks, has been used often as a stand-in for Buckingham Palace. Today itās about as close as you can get to feeling like a royal without being born one. Interiors by designer Alberto Pinto recall 18th-century Regency style (which continues into the ultra-plush guestrooms) and fresh flowers are everywhere."
"Minimalists, modernists, fanciers of all things sleek, shiny, geometrical and monochrome ā this is not the place for you. The Lanesborough was always an unrepentant riot of Regency splendor. In 2015 it reopened more unrepentant, riotous and Regency-splendid than ever."
"They've always got their awesome blueberry and whipped mascarpone on the menu. These spongey bad boys are spot-on for breakfast, nothing like tucking into some pancakes surrounded by palms. 65A Brushfield St, London E1 6AA"
