"Rich Mix allows creativity in all its magnificent forms – live music, theatre, poetry, film, art, design and drawing, so it’s a little distinct from the other places on the list, but the charity behind the cross-media arts centre, The Rich Mix Cultural Foundation, has a pretty inspiring goal. And that’s to offer the public space to discover more about the creative offerings of people from various migrant populations. Since taking over the former clothing factory on Bethnal Green Road, Rich Mix has put on many free exhibitions, screenings and concerts."

"There’s education at every turn in the Museum of London, which looks over the city’s glorious, odd and sometimes dark history from the Roman origins of Londinium right up to the 2012 Olympic Cauldron. A favourite feature is, of course, the fatberg, a giant congelation of grease and refuse removed from the sewers. But there is plenty more to discover that you never knew."

"Good news for regulars of Barry’s and Hotpod Yoga in Eccleston Yards, as Atis – the East London salad bar – brings its bowls of goodness to the wellness hub in West. The menu includes Atis’ staples like Miso Hungry (shredded kale, wild rice, edamame, charred lemon broccoli, miso lime and ginger dressing) and Seiz’a Ceasar (a riff on the the chicken Ceasar salad), but there’s also the option to build your own bowl from scratch. 1-2 Eccleston Yards, Belgravia, SW1W 9AZ | 145 City Road, London, EC1V 1AZ"

"You can’t get more traditional than Venchi who have 140 years of gelato-making experience under their belts. They have five stores across London, but with a gelato lab and a running chocolate tap, their Covent Garden shop is the one to head to."

"Venchi – Venchi started life as a chocolatier and it is now also an exceptional gelato producer. So it is no surprise that sitting in"

"Sophia Brothers’s grandmother, Elsa, is the eponymous Nonna that inspired this brilliant Broadway Market gelato spot and – having sampled Sophia’s fine work on many an occasion – I’ve got to say I’m rather envious that I didn’t grow up with a dessert expert in my own family. Nonna’s Gelato separates itself from the Mr Whippys of the world by ensuring that their gelato is made from the finest ingredients possible. Sophia only uses the freshest milk and cream from the best Jersey cows in the UK, sourced by The Estate Dairy, and fruit and nuts from local farms in Kent."

"Nonna’s Gelato began 85 years-ago with owner Sophia’s Italian Nonna, whose Italian heritage combined with her love of seasonal, local produce turned into something beautiful – an Italian and British fusion of gelato. It’s situated in the heart of Broadway Market every Saturday, with 10p of every scoop going to ‘Off Centre’ charity, who offer a counselling and therapy service to young people aged 16 to 25. Location: Broadway Market, Hackney | Also available to purchase at Harringay Local Store, Yardarm, The Blackheath Pantry and The De Beauvoir Deli"

"The Nonna’s team creates imaginatively flavoured gelato from its family-run north London kitchen. Using traditional Italian techniques with British produce, Nonna’s mouth-watering flavours include rich espresso sorbet, homegrown mint choc chip and an Eton mess concoction. We’d particularly recommend the chocolate ripple made with porter from Hackney-based Five Points Brewing Company."

"The ice cream at Gelateria Danieli is quite literally fit for a Queen: this gem of a gelato joint has sites in Kingston and Richmond – one of which sits in a particularly pretty spot on the green – and its vanilla creation is so good it was served at the Queen’s 80th birthday party in Kew Gardens. Sure, that was a little while ago now, but the standard remains as good as ever. Health conscious ice cream cravers will also be pleased to know that the gelato here is all low fat, with frozen yoghurt, dairy free, nut free, egg free, high protein and gluten free options available too."

"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Richmond. Danieli’s vanilla ice cream was served to Her Majesty on her eightieth birthday – so you’re in good regal company if you’re partial to a scoop or two of their Italian gelati. These guys care about sourcing the very best ingredients and their huge line-up of flavours goes far beyond the usual suspects – think banana and salted peanut, custard and cherry, pistachio and amaretto or Sicilian cactus fruit."

"Address: 16 Brewers Ln, Richmond TW9 1HH and 5 Wood St, Kingston upon Thames KT1 1TX. If you want a treat but are on a diet go here - the gelato is low fat but high flavour. The parlour is adorable and very Insta worthy, plus they also sell chocolates."
