Best French Bakery in Bow

"The view from Rafael Viñoly’s Sky Garden, also known as the Walkie-Talkie building, is unlike any other in the city. From here you can survey London’s ever-growing sprawl with the city stretching up to the north, Tower Bridge and the Shard to the south, and Canary Wharf to the east. It’s free to explore the tower’s three stories of landscaped public gardens, but make sure to book in advance."

"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 it’s not only one of the best views and best rooftop bars in London, but it’s also very Instagrammable. The combination of stunning views over the rooftops of London, with modern architecture and green plants is a winner for me."

"At the Sky Garden you’ll get panoramic views of the city and you can also stop for food and drink. You have to book a ticket in advance to visit but it’s free. Head to skygarden.london for more info."

"From creating a nitro ice cream parlour in Camden to collaborating with Cadbury to create a Creme Egg Sundae, Chin Chin know how to make weird and wacky ice creams. But it’s their Soho joint that we love, where they mix luxe chocolate and caramel flavour ice-creams with cakes, cookies and ice-cream sandwiches. There’s always a bunch of toppings and sauces to pick from, and with a wide variety of vegan options as well, there’s something for everyone here."

"Address: 49-50 Camden Lock, Camden Town, London NW1 8AF and 54 Greek Street, London W1D 3DS. Whether you're a science buff or not, you have to head here just for the experience - you get to watch as your dessert is frozen to order using liquid nitrogen. Toppings and sauces are kept in beakers to complete the science lab vibe, and flavours are outlandish - think pandan leaf and black sesame cake."

"Don’t go to Chin Chin Labs for your average cake and cookie because ‘simple’ really isn’t in their vocabulary. They are most famous for their ice-cream made with liquid nitrogen but what a lot of people don’t 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."

"A biscuit isn’t quite a dessert – unless it’s in the hands of Cutter & Squidge, that is. Enter the Biskie, the Soho bakery’s signature dessert which sees two discs of a cake-cookie hybrid sandwich an array of flavoured creamy fillings. The chocolate s’more version is filled with buttercream and a handmade marshmallow, while the blueberry cheesecake version layers jam, cheesecake cream and a wedge of digestive biscuit."

"Join dynamic duo, Cutter and Squidge, for a delicious afternoon treat. The sisters are passionate about creating healthier treats, so all fillings use real fruit and minimal sugar. Their speciality is the biskie, a decadent dessert sandwich featuring a variety of handmade buttercreams, jams and sauces."

"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."

"Bills restaurant in Windsor Royal Station is a great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. With seating inside or outside (under cover of the shopping centre) it has juicy steaks, pan fried sea bass and some indulgent pies!. Great for families, meeting friends or for a special date!"

"Bill’s was founded in 2001 by Greengrocer Bill Collinson in Lewes, East Sussex. After a flood Bill added a café to his shop and after great success went on to open a second restaurant in Brighton. Bill’s have since expanded and opened 81 sites across the UK."

"Just next to Windsor & Eton Central Station you will find Bill’s. A modern British restaurant that adds a twist onto their dishes. They’re known all over the UK for their legendary breakfasts but they also have a pretty impressive lunch and dinner menu!"

"Tomoko Furikado’s beautiful cafe on Kingsland Road is inconspicuous, both in design and in its reception on the London ~coffee scene~. It steers away from some of the more tropey elements of coffee culture to focus on quality in every department, with elegantly speckled Japanese ceramics the vessels for expertly made, unshowy drinks. Coffee comes from Vagabond, a slightly under-heralded roaster in north London, and there’s a sprightly range of Japanese pan, cakes, and savory dishes like a pork katsu sandwich or udon noodle salad."

"Inspired by the beauty of their Nanas’ floral garden, Michela and Lois Wilson have mastered the art of sexy window displays and are available for interior hire as a result. From flowers bursting with colour to slithers of lavender and more, the noteworthy Saint Aymes is a real beauty. Where: 59 Connaught Street, W2 2BBWebsite:www.saintaymes.com"

"Fortunately, no birds’ mouths were used in the making of Bill or Beak’s stonking burger-style sandwiches, both of which are innovative versions of much-loved poultry classics. The Bill (duck) combo is usually oriental, while Beak (chicken) often gets the American treatment with special caesar dressing, tempura capers, croûtons and parmesan in a brioche bun – although it could also be a sichuan-style burger with miso mayo and fermented chilli sauce. Don’t miss: Slow-braised duck and pork in Vietnamese dressing with mint, coriander, spring onions and tempura shallots (£6.50)."

"A toasted brioche bun with shredded duck and pork, coriander, spring onions, mint, chilli, tempura shallots and Vietnamese dressing — how does that sound?"

"Restaurants Middle Eastern Stoke Newington. Stokey gives good brunch, but The Good Egg is where you’ll find queues out the door come the weekend. This stylish café with an open kitchen is a breezy daytime hangout and its brunch menu holds heaps of Middle-Eastern delights: think shakshuka topped with baked eggs, or bacon-and-egg pita with date jam, plus lots of exotic nibbles to share and a cardamom-infused coffee cocktail to sample."

"The array of brightly flavoured dishes at these Middle Eastern-influenced restaurants – one in Soho and one up north in Stoke Newington – are sure to spark up a morning. The offering includes pita and challah for dipping in labneh, butterbean hummus and more. Unsurprisingly, eggs are also a major player: you'll find shakshuka with za'atar sourdough, and an egg and cheese bagel with chilli, chive and smoked cheddar."

"Breakfast lovers get excited as The Good Egg has landed in Kingly Court and will be serving up their Jewish influenced menu day-to-night."
