Best Diners in Kenwood Ladies Bathing Pond

"Set amongst the stalls of Portobello Road market, this exposed brick New York-inspired diner has West London flocking for their fluffy buttermilk pancakes, served with whipped butter and maple syrup. Cocktails, wine, smoothies and juices are also on offer at this diner, and it even offers discounts on meals if you've purchased a cinema ticket at the Electric Cinema (terms and conditions apply). Grab a red leather booth and a big cup of coffee to wash down your stack."

"If you're after counter-side seating, red leather booths and plates of pie good enough to take home to grandma, Electric Diner will meet your need for an American eatery big-time. It gets packed out at brunch time, but it's the evening when things really get a USA kick. Try the Philly chilli cheese dog or the cheeseburger and follow with the NY cheese cake, or if you're just getting started, an apple old fashioned."

"Here you will hobnob and rub shoulders with the beautiful people. Notting Hill is simply one of the most exciting parts of London to visit. It manages to be both very real with its reggae and street markets, but very aspirational, brimming with untouchable glamour, at the same time."

"GreenwichOne of the capital’s largest craft breweries, Meantime is also blessed with a supremely stylish taproom – hexagonal floors and mid-century wooden furniture – that begs to be settled into for a tasting session. Because at this award-winning spot, it’s all about the beers: even the burgers come with sauces made from the core house brews (Anytime IPA Hot and Sweet, Yakima Red Ale BBQ, Easytime Lager Marinara). Top tip: take some of the Chocolate Porter home with you – it’s perfect for putting in puddings."

"According to founder Alistair Hook, “Great beer is at the heart of everything we do.” and we believe them. Having been born in 1999, well before craft beer became trendy, they’ve spent 20 years perfecting their beers and that has most definitely been time well spent. Have we saved the best brewery until last?"

"One of the best breweries in London, Meantime Brewing Company are sharing some of their beer knowledge with fellow pint-loving folk during their tours and tastings. Along with a show around of the factory and a look at all the processes needed to make the drinks, you'll also get to enjoy four delicious sips."

"Craving some 1950s American diner classics, all with a halal twist?. Big Moe’s specialises in gourmet burgers, big beefy hot dogs, and killer milkshakes. If you want something a little different, try their New York style breakfasts and brunch items, including big fluffy stacks of pancakes."

"People ask us the secret to why our food taste so great, but it’s really no secret at all. In fact, we proudly boast about it."

"For the ultimate ‘modern greasy spoon’ experience  What to eat?. The white chocolate and caramelised banana pancakes. Long live the great British greasy spoon!"

The Reuben sandwich and the mozzarella sticks are firm fan favorites. Not only this but they’re also known for their incredible vegan milkshakes; think chocolate peanut butter, banana biscoff and chocolate peppermint cream."

The Camden Market-based diner offers all the staple US diner classics from The Dirty Burger to The Dirty Dog. Rudy’s even offer a Reuben sandwich with all the trimmings, including sauerkraut and Russian dressing."

"In a nutshell: Restautant for the vegan butcher Where is it?. 206A Upper St Islington, London N1 1RQ Why should you care?. After the launch of their vegan 'butcher' (which has proven to be very popular indeed), Rudy's have brought their vegan diner to Islington right next door."

"If you’ve never been to Xi’an Impression next to the Emirates Stadium, you either have terrible taste or simply couldn’t get in. The founders have now understood that delicious, handmade noodles and Shaanxi province cuisine deserves a bigger surface area and opened a second outlet in Whitechapel last year (a third, Master Wei, can now be found in Bloomsbury). In this far more capacious eatery, all the same classics are available with far more room to breathe."

"39 James St, Marylebone, London W1U 1DL Why should you care?. Curry and rice are primarily the order of the day at the latest London outpost of this huge Japanese curry chain."

"A post shared by 𝔈𝔯𝔦𝔫 𝔍𝔢𝔞𝔫 (@e.jrey) on Jun 22, 2015 at 12:51am PDT. Savour comforting pub fare alongside more exquisite dishes at this vegetarian-friendly pub in Soho. The signature vegan tofu fish and chips makes the journey to Norman's Coach & Horses worth the trip alone; while there are also alcoholic beverages labelled on the menu."

"Notting Hill, the shabby 1960s domain of bohemians, beatniks and dissolute rock stars, is a different creature today. A tad twee, perhaps – maybe even a little staid. And while Notting Hill, starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, went too far in its saccharine fairy-tale rendition, it painted a picture of foppish fun that somehow stuck."

"Even the most committed atheist will experience an epiphany at this heavenly live music venue – a nonconformist church that’s eclectic and welcoming to all. The setting, in an atmospheric Gothic chapel dominated by a glorious Victorian organ, is a quirky venue for in-the-know gigs. And the superb acoustics mean that whoever’s on – Roseanne Cash or Billy Bragg, world music bands or stand-up comedians – they all get the chance to shine."

"Nights at the Union Chapel, which happen monthly at the moment are described as 'comedy's spiritual home' cue much laughter and jokes. But bad puns aside, this monthly occurrence is big in the capital's comedy circuit. It's been running since 2007, and the website claims to have had the following big name comics in the UK tread their boards."

"In the north London suburb of Islington lies the Union Chapel, a Grade-I listed building formed in the Gothic Revival style in the late nineteenth century. The chapel looms dauntingly over London and is a regular host of charity events and concerts, as well as being a fully-functioning church; its congregation meets for worship every Sunday."

"Over in Notting Hill, Cloud Twelve is a wellness and lifestyle club set across three floors. There’s a salon, spa and holistic wellness clinic, plus a healthy brasserie and creche. Treatments include drawl-worthy massages, facials, pre and post-natal rituals and treatments specifically designed for men."
