"Get the lift to the top of 20 Fenchurch Street and let your toddler explore Londonâs highest public garden. There are 360 degree views of the London skyline, gardens to run around in and a cafĂŠ where you can buy cakes and pastries. Cost â Free, but you need to prebook."
"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."
"The original Camden parlour is now back open for fans of Chin Chinâs famous ice creams (churned with the aid of liquid nitrogen for a rich, dense, almost chewy texture.) They are available by the scoop with toppings, but there are also a dozen or so full-on dishes making use of them, from a tiramisu sundae to nachos with chargrilled pineapple, salted-caramel sauce, dark-chocolate ice cream and blue-corn waffle tacos. Open Friday â Sunday, 12 p.m."
"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"
"A biscuit isnât quite a dessert â unless itâs in the hands of Cutter & Squidge, that is. Enter the Biskie, the Soho bakeryâs signature dessert which sees two discs of a cake-cookie hybrid sandwich an array of flavoured creamy fillings. The chocolate sâmore version is filled with buttercream and a handmade marshmallow, while the blueberry cheesecake version layers jam, cheesecake cream and a wedge of digestive biscuit."
"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."
"Cutter & Squidge are bringing the latest in hybrid desserts to London. Here, they have invented the Biskie. This is a biscuit-cookie-cake creation filled with buttercream, jam or caramel."
"Luxx club has a very impressive location in the heart of Mayfair on the prominent Berkeley Street. The finest restaurants and casinos of the area surround the club. This makes it an excellent spot for some late night fun and partying."
"Dusty Knuckle are among the very upper echelons of London bakers with their Dalston bakery well worth a pilgrimage (although look out for a second bakery opening on Green Lanes soon). Sourdough is the big seller. We don't often show favourism, but we have to admit their potato sourdough is one of our favourite loaves in London and their cinnamon morning buns are pretty great too."
"They say: âThe Dusty Knuckle Bakery (Est 2014) is a London-based social enterprise and food operation that supplies some of Londonâs most renowned chefs with exceptional bread and pastries.â. The sweet stuff: Top-notch hot cross buns and morning buns. Delivery: Free if your order is over ÂŁ40."

"Restaurants Chinese Moorgate. With its karaoke room and laminated picture menu, this fiery Sichuan joint is old school â although its food has real depth and complexity. The chefâs fish special comes with a Scoville-scale sucker-punch, but donât ignore the dan-dan noodles or pork dumplings bobbing in soupy red chilli sauce."
"For the most authentic (yes, really) Chinese food in London, a visit to Teddington (albeit the less fashionable side) is a must. While the exterior is in need of a little TLC, donât let that put you off from experiencing the best dim sum in west London. The preparation that goes into each dish is more than a match for more celebrated joints dotted around the capitalâs more visually appealing areas."
"Visit one of the largest Chinatown London restaurants for Cantonese dishes and a wide choice of dim sum, with a focus on seafood. Housed over three floors and featuring karaoke rooms and even its own carp pond, Imperial China London knows how to impress. During the weekend, you're also able to delve into a roast meat platter featuring roast duck and barbecued pork."
"One of the prettiest restaurants in London is sorting you out with the ultimate alfresco dining experience this spring and summer. Head over to Southbank where Ping Pong are taking their bottomless brunch into the great outdoors with free-flowing cocktails and delicious dim sum."
"Although â or perhaps because â it stopped being cutting-edge several thousand cheap leather jackets ago, Camden Market attracts millions of visitors each year and is one of London's most popular attractions. What started out as a collection of attractive craft stalls beside Camden Lock on the Regent's Canal now extends most of the way from Camden Town tube station to Chalk Farm tube station."
"Camden Market is not a single market, but consists of several different markets within walking distance of each other. Market stalls sell just about everything including food, clothing, crafts, art, souvenirs, and more."
"Londonâs South Bank has seen an explosion of development in the past decade that goes well beyond the London Eye. While the Eye is still the biggest attraction drawing families across the Thames, restaurants and a vibrant waterfront are keeping them there all afternoon. Even better, the Southbank Centre Food Market, located behind Southbank Centre, is introducing local and visiting families to cuisines from across the globe."
"A bustling market with some of the best food stalls in London, the Southbank Market is a definite must-visit for food lovers in London. Itâs tucked around the back of the famous Southbank Centre, so is the perfect stop to refuel whilst exploring the area. As one of Londonâs best food markets, the competition to get a spot here is fierce â with the end result that the stalls are absolutely brilliant."
"The Southbank Centre Market could be classed as a slightly more upmarket street food spot in London, but thatâs just what makes it one of the best. Greek souvlaki, a whole stall for beautiful bruschetta, Shrimpyâs shrimp burgers plus a variety of alcoholic beverages you could go around tasting all day. This open-topped market sets up every Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Southbank Centre Square."
"This East London stretch is best known for its abundance of curry houses, but itâs also the setting for an atmospheric Sunday market. Hop between stalls selling retro bric-a-brac and vintage items, as well as some fresh produce. Backyard Market and Sunday UpMarket in the Old Truman Brewery are offshoots of Brick Lane Market, showcasing arts and crafts, and a gastronomic array of food vendors."
"The best day to visit Brick Lane market is Sunday when the streets fill with stalls selling second-hand goods. Popular with young Londoners on the lookout for a bargain this market has a lively artistic vibe. Whilst browsing youâll also stumble upon various street performers to entertain you and discover good value places to eat."
"For summer BBQ season or really any time of the year, The Rib Man is famous for having the best rib meat in the Greater London area. His hot sauce is infamous and youâll wish you had your own bottle. Be sure to come early, because with only one appearance a week, he sells out quickly."
