"The view from Rafael ViĂąolyâs Sky Garden, also known as the Walkie-Talkie building, is unlike any other in the city. From here you can survey Londonâs ever-growing sprawl with the city stretching up to the north, Tower Bridge and the Shard to the south, and Canary Wharf to the east. Itâs free to explore the towerâs three stories of landscaped public gardens, but make sure to book in advance."
"From creating a nitro ice cream parlour in Camden to collaborating with Cadbury to create a Creme Egg Sundae, Chin Chin know how to make weird and wacky ice creams. But itâs their Soho joint that we love, where they mix luxe chocolate and caramel flavour ice-creams with cakes, cookies and ice-cream sandwiches. Thereâs always a bunch of toppings and sauces to pick from, and with a wide variety of vegan options as well, thereâs something for everyone here."
"For truly breathtaking ice-cream creations, head on down to Chin Chin. This little dessert spot is famous for its extravagant flavors (you can find things like meringue pie and tonka bean on the menu!), and you can even grab a signature hot chocolate if you want something to enjoy on the go. Such a great option if youâre looking for the best desserts in London."
"Restaurants Vegetarian Camden Market. They say:âEuropeâs firstliquid nitrogen ice-cream parlour.â. The sweet stuff: Cherry pie and chocolate cookier but the main event is the kits for creating you own nitrogen ice cream."
"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 & Squidgeâs Dream Cakes make for jaw dropping centrepieces for your big celebration, or can also be enjoyed by the slice in house â the Lychee Kiss is an elegant flavour trio of lychee, raspberry and rose."
"From show stopping dripped cakes to the glossiest salted caramel weâve ever seen, Cutter & Squidge is the bakery to go to if youâre in need of a special birthday treat or serious âIâm sorryâ gift. All products are made with 100% natural products and as little sugar as possible â donât worry, they still taste devilishly sweet. Where:Various locationsWebsite:www.cutterandsquidge.com"
"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."
"Branded as a cafĂŠ and not a restaurant, the variety of dishes that Tide Tables serves up is truly remarkable. Combining a mixture of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan menus, Tide Tables also provides an extensive salad bar. Situated right next to the River Thames and under the Richmond Bridge, the cafĂŠ has a wonderful outside terrace in which you can bask in an early morning sunrise or evening sunset."
"Tucked underneath Richmond Bridge inside converted arches, the main attraction of this vegetarian cafĂŠ is its location and river views. Food is ordered at the counter and eaten outside on a huge sandy terrace overlooking the Thames ferry dock. There are a large number of pastry dishes, such as spicy Mexican bean roll, and a spiral filo pie stuffed with spinach and ricotta."
"Its large riverside garden is a fantastic location for watching the river and the world go by. Great coffee and organic food. The perfect stopping place for riverside walkers and cyclists."
"Restaurants Haute cuisine Piccadilly. Yes, Londonâs ultimate name-drop restaurant is for trust-funders or special-occasion spendthrifts, but on hot days, the sedate terrace is still one of the best alfresco lunch spots in London, with vast parasols, mosaic floors, floral boxes and (if youâre so inclined) buckets of champagne on ice. You canât book a terrace table, but you can request one."
"You canât go wrong with dining at Londonâs most famous hotel. Just the palace-style dĂŠcor alone will make you feel like youâre among royalty. The Michelin-starred fare includes dishes like native lobster, dover sole and fillet of deer, while desserts include chocolate soufflĂŠ and poached rhubarb."
"The gorgeousness of the Italian Renaissance style dining room at The Ritz can sometimes make you forget how great the food is here too. Chef John Williams may have been late to his Michelin star (a woeful oversight) but the cooking and service here is top class all the way."
"Matcha and Beyond, a matcha and coffee bar on the Kingâs Road, has launched new vegan matcha soft serve ice cream alongside its usual menu of matcha-inspired healthy treats such as green velvet cake and coco matcha macaroons. Itâs made with organic rice milk and agave syrup, therefore contains no refined sugar. Choose either matcha, vanilla or matcha and vanilla swirl and add in-house made toppings or fruit, or opt for a healthy swirl alongside their heavenly spelt, coconut and matcha bread."
"With three locations, one in Crouch End, one in Highbury and the newest location in Notting Hill (across the road from the popular Farmacy), expect queues down the street at weekends for the popular brunch offering, which perfectly balances the requisite green smoothie and beetroot smoothie options with the, letâs be honest, necessary Saturday and Sunday indulgences, from French toast and Turkish eggs to Kahvalti, a Middle Eastern breakfast sharing spread. Halloumi portions are generous (the halloumi, aubergine and sticky walnut salad is delicious), the doughnuts are irresistible and the people watching is enormously fun."
"They've already opened successful cafes in Crouch End and Highbury and next up for Beam is a move west to Notting Hill."
"Enjoy the theatrical open kitchen at acclaimed Indian restaurant, Amaya, in Belgravia. Tuck into a range of seafood, meat and vegetarian food at this swish venue from the team behind Chutney Mary and Veeraswamy. Although contemporary in nature, the dishes here are cooked using traditional techniques, whether in the tandoor oven, over coals or on a hot grill plate."
"More than just a pretty restaurant in Angel, Hoxley and Porter is considered something of a dining experience. From its simulated wooden train carriage on arrival to the foliage and vintage prints that deck the walls, Hoxley and Porter is a charmed British dinner experience that promises glamour throughout."
"Modelled on a Victorian train carriage, Hoxley and Porter in Islington is a fun step back in time. As well as serving a long list of British classics and impressive cocktails, it also houses The Crypt - a secret laboratory where you can learn some of their mixing secrets."
"The seasonal menu at La Ferme London is a delicious example of modern French dining, removed from snobbish settings and strict prerequisites. Head chef Guillaume Dunos isnât afraid to be inventive, with combinations like skate wing with pickled seaweed and creme brulĂŠe with matcha tea on the menu. Sourcing artisan ingredients from small local producers in France is also important at La Ferme, and their charcuterie and fromage platters are absolutely top notch."
"There are Francophiles behind this nationwide French brasserie group â that much is obvious. Every last detail, from the rattan terrace furniture ..."

"What better surroundings to feast on traditional French countryside fare than in La Poule au Pot's rustic interiors?. They do the 'on-trend' mix of exposed brickwork and dark wood so well, because it's authentic to the style of cuisine they're serving and hasn't been modernised at all. It's lit by flickering candles so everyone looks glowing and warm as you gaze across your escargots, foie gras and expertly cooked fillet of sole at your dining partner."
"Offering al fresco dining options in the summer and cosy indoor seating in the winter, La Poule au Pot is a great all-year-round destination to sample fine, French cuisine in a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The 1960s decor, aroma of freshly baked bread and the soft lighting welcome guests into this Belgravia establishment. The food is indulgent, hearty French cooking, perfect for a treat or celebratory meal."
"Add some je ne sais quoi to your date night at La Poule au Pot, a long-running restaurant that brings Gallic flavours to Belgravia. The rustic decor and vintage tableware are good talking points, even before you discuss the merits (or not) of ordering snails."
