2020: London’s Best Desserts
"If cookies stuffed with the likes of butterscotch cookie dough, peanut butter and chocolate ganache isn’t enough to entice you, perhaps the fact that they’re made by ex-Claridge’s 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 Claridge’s, The Savoy and Dominique Ansel Bakery. She’s 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."
"How does a vanilla cookie coated with crispy cinnamon cereal, and stuffed with rich speculoos cream sound?. Like something you want in on?. Well it’s your lucky day, because this Covent Garden pop-up turned nationwide cookie delivery service is delivering boxes of its vegan stuffed cookies around the country."
"Bakers Mathew and Andrew met while working in Melbourne and decided to return to London to set up their own business. Chewy Cookie is all about quality, ethically sourced cookies. The doughs are aged for 24 hours before baking (and we can attest to how great they taste)."
"OK, now we know this next suggestion for the best desserts in London, isn’t a restaurant or cafes – but if you’re looking for an amazing dessert on-the-go, then I don’t think you can top Ben’s Cookies for deliciousness and price. Yummy, gooey, tasty cookies that dreams are made of."

"Plain on the outside, plain on the inside – only you're talking about two very different kinds of plain here. While the Metropolitan's exterior is anonymous to the point of charmlessness, the interiors are, particularly for this part of London, a pleasant surprise. Icy-calm, uncluttered and understated, though with some arresting and endearing touches – vivid block-coloured carpets, splendid orchids, big sofas arranged alongside big windows the better to enjoy the big views over the park outside."
"BEST SPA IN LONDON FOR: PERTINENT, INTUITIVE TREATMENTS WITH A TOP-OF-THEIR-GAME ROSTER OF THERAPISTS. Small but perfectly formed, the spa here often gets overlooked for bigger players, but this is one of London’s best-kept secrets. Not only is the space completely sleek and serene – no plinky-plonky music or trickling fountains – but the treatments pack an enormous punch."
"Restaurants Pizza Clapton. Impress your children by taking them to the lo-fi neighbourhood pizza place where ‘Home Alone’ star Macaulay Culkin’s band ‘The Pizza Underground’ once played impromptu. Food-wise, Yard Sale deals in double-fermented stone-baked pizzas (12-inch or 18-inch whoppers) with left field toppings and punning names such as Cour Blimey (courgette ribbons, pancetta and black pepper)."
"What started as a supper club is now a three-branch-strong collection of pizza joints that serve everything from a simple margherita, to leftfield pizzas like the Benedict Cumberland, with semi-dried tomatoes, kale, chilli and cumberland sausage. Ingredients are carefully sourced, super fresh and top quality, so you can eat your pizza guilt-free."
"You’re more than likely to rub shoulders with a fair few A-listers around Mayfair, the affluent neighbourhood that’s home to The May Fair. Rooms combine ruby-red velvet furniture, beds piled with goose-down duvets and Sicilian marble bathrooms, but the themed suites are more extravagant. The fuschia Schiaparelli Suite oozes glamour, with chaise lounges and a free-standing egg-shaped bath."
"How can you go to London without having some fish and chips?. If your family is looking for this classic British dish done right, look no further than the Mayfair Chippy. There’s no kids’ menu here, but don' let that deter you - the fish and chips are the star of the show."
