"If you guys have been following this blog for a while you may have realised that I am borderline obsessed with Sky Garden. I think itās not only one of the best views and best rooftop bars in London, but itās also very Instagrammable. The combination of stunning views over the rooftops of London, with modern architecture and green plants is a winner for me."
"Sky Garden is on top of one of the skyscrapers found in London. You can visit levels 35 through 37 of the "Walkie Talkie" for freeājust make sure to book a ticket in advance."
"Londonās first ice cream parlour made using liquid nitrogen, Chin Chin Labs is best known for their bold flavours, big scoops and scientific methods. The team wanted to create something which hadnāt been explored before and itās certainly done the trick because they now boast three outposts in London. Designed as a grab-and-go pit stop, their ice creams are great for scoring a āgram worthy image and fuelling you on your Sunday stroll around the city."
"Donāt go to Chin Chin Labs for your average cake and cookie because āsimpleā really isnāt in their vocabulary. They are most famous for their ice-cream made with liquid nitrogen but what a lot of people donāt know is they make and bake a whole load of cakes, cookies and pies downstairs in their in-house bakery. Find things like their naughty titty cakes, party cakes and hot cherry pies."
"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 isnāt quite a dessert ā unless itās in the hands of Cutter & Squidge, that is. Enter the Biskie, the Soho bakeryās signature dessert which sees two discs of a cake-cookie hybrid sandwich an array of flavoured creamy fillings. The chocolate sāmore version is filled with buttercream and a handmade marshmallow, while the blueberry cheesecake version layers jam, cheesecake cream and a wedge of digestive biscuit."
"We wonderedā¦"Can we vegan-ise our favourite blueberry lemon cheesecake cake?" š¤ Wonder no moreā¦ we did it!!. Blueberry buttercream, tangy cheesecake and vanilla sponge š° Head down to Soho today for a slice, also available online to order š.

"You'd be bonkers not to try one of their famous 'Biskies' (a merge between a cake and a biscuit - v moreish) while sitting in their secret garden."
"Authentic Vietnamese fare served in a sleek, stream-lined setting makes this Shoreditch restaurant as popular as it is. Whenever the door opens, the aroma of fresh coriander makes its way street-side, beckoning to hungry patrons. Indeed, folks show up from all over town to enjoy traditional fare like spring rolls, tamarind chicken, and rice-steamed rolls. Friendly service and terrific prices only ensure that repeat visits will be in order."
"Spread across two floors, Kitty Hawk is a hot spot for lunch near Liverpool Street. Join the swanky bar and restaurant as they serve hearty steaks in their downstairs venue, and if you're looking for a spot of liquid lunch head upstairs to the swish and buzzing bar."
"OK, now we know this next suggestion for the best desserts in London, isnāt a restaurant or cafes ā but if youāre looking for an amazing dessert on-the-go, then I donāt think you can top Benās Cookies for deliciousness and price. Yummy, gooey, tasty cookies that dreams are made of."
"Head to Brick Lane and you will be amazed by hundreds of vintage clothing rails, jewellery, tables of sunglasses and stacks of antique chairs. This is one of Londonās hippest areas in East London which is perfect for vintage finds, people watching and just enjoying the mixture of cultures. In recent years, the street market has incorporated several indoor markets like The Tea Rooms, Backyard Market, Sunday Upmarket, Boiler House and the Vintage Market."
"Sunday is the day when Brick Laneāscobweb of different markets really shine. Brick Lane itself transforms a cool street market in London ā a jumble of stalls selling clothes, handmade items, household goods with a fair bit of tat for good measure. Venture off the main drag for even more treats: the Sunday Upmarket brims with designer makers selling gorgeous jewellery and accessories and a similar vibe can also be found at the Backyard Market."
"If youāre into flea markets, then Brick Lane Market will be your favorite destination in London. It is one of the largest markets of its type in the British capital and it sells all kinds of items, from bric-a-brac to clothes and antiques. Here, you can negotiate the prices and leave with a bargain."
"Kings Cross has hosted this lovely covered market since 2017, and itās primed for a return this weekend. However, since the usual site is being usual as a car park for key workers in the area, itās upping sticks and moving across Granary Square to Coal Drops Yard for the summer. You can read all about it here."
"Located in Brixton and Shoreditch, Halo Burger has made a name for itself using Beyond Burger patties to create a vast range of irresistible vegan burgers. On the menu, you can find the epic Halo Burger with 2 Beyond patties, 2 slices of cheese, caramelised onion, lettuce, tomato, gherkins and signature sauce. Other notable mentions include the Smoky Carolina BBQ Burger, and The Flameburger which is definitely not for the faint-hearted!"
"Popular plant-based burger bar Halo Burger (currently in Pop Brixton) have opened their second restaurant in Shoreditch and they're the first in the country to be launching with Beyond Meat's 4.0 patty."
"Why: Buffalo wings slathered with blue cheese, fried Gangnam wings in a sweet, sticky Korean sauce, garlic butter wings coated in Parmesan ā we could go on, but the point is, these guys are the kings of wings. We recommend ordering a selection, accompanied by a side of mac and cheese and a salted caramel shake for maximum gluttony.Where: Hackney Wick + Aldgate. In the spirit of Americaās obsession with barbecue cuisine, check out these smoking-hot BBQ restaurants."
"Restaurants American Olympic Park. Former street-food upstarts Randyās now have a permanent roost by the canal in Hackney Wick, and their wings are the business. Try BBQ-slathered Kansas, sweet ānā sticky Korean-style Gangnam or harissa-infused Casablanca with pomegranate seeds ā plus smoked chicken scratchings on the side."
