"What: Sky Garden may be known for its lush greenery (the perfect backdrop for an impromptu photoshoot), but its sprawling views of the capital are also worth a mention. The Sky Pod bar, which isnāt separated from the rest of the space, allows guests to stand around admiring the views or pull up a chair to rest their legs. All the usual drinks can be found here (including a selection of signature cocktails), while the food menu features sharing platters of charcuterie, seafood or dessert."

"Fun shop, fun website, inventive creations ā two sisters established this Soho mecca and are always a step ahead of foodie trends. The sisters explain, āWe are a bit health conscious and are not fans of overly fatty or sugar laden foods, so we always keep our fat and sugar content to ājust as much as needed to make something deliciousā."
"Itās pretty, itās pink and the cakes and treats are equally as gorgeous to eat as well as look at. Their famous for their ābiskieā creations which are a cross between a cake and a cookie sandwiched with cream or chocolate. If you prefer you can go for one of their perfectly presented cakes by the slice."
"Each one features two biscuit pieces closing in on a layer of cream to create a beautiful dessert sandwich. Theyāre the perfect sugary pick-me-up and come in a selection of creative flavours. Try the rich billionaire dreambar, which is served with an extra layer of chocolate in the middle."
"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, letās 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."

"In a nutshell: Everyone's favourite bao spot ramps it up with an all-day spot in KX Where is it?. 4 Pancras Square, Kings Cross, London N1C 4AG Why should you care?. For their fourth opening, in King's Cross, the folk at BAO have decided to switch things up with an all-day cafe serving breakfast for the first time and with its own bakery."
"If you find icing-heavy cupcakes too sickly, Lily Vanilli is your cake holy grail: savoury and sweet are balanced perfectly to create complex flavours, not just an immediate sugar hit. Think pear, thyme and olive oil mini-loaves and grapefruit and polenta layer cake. Tucked away in a gorgeous little courtyard behind Columbia Road flower market, the bakery has bare brick and white tile walls, a fab āVanilliāsā lightbulb sign and a wooden counter laden with treats."

"What: We would have included Ping Pongās āLazy Sumdayā menu solely on the merit of its punny title, but it turns out its substance is as good as its name. For less than Ā£30, you can fill up on baos, buns and dumplings until your heartās (or stomachās) content. And, as if unlimited dim sum wasnāt enough, you can also add a bottle of prosecco to your lunch for a tenner."
"With locations across London, Ping Pong offers a lively stopover for a light bite during a busy day out in Covent Garden, SohoĀ orĀ South BankĀ and other locations. Specialising in dim sum, teas and cocktails, these contemporary restaurants offer some of the best Chinese in London for those on a budget."
