"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."
"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Soho. Those nitro-fuelled experimentalists at Chin Chin are the Willy Wonkas of the ice-cream world, and this Soho shop is an ostentatious showcase for their wares. Not only their signature ices, but also full-on desserts ā thereās some seriously elaborate stuff going on here amid all the bells and whistles (try the decadent tiramisu sundae)."
"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."
"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."
"A Biskie is a sandwiched dessert thatās essentially a cross between a cake and a cookie and is filled with cream or other ingredients. You can find Biskies only at Cutter and Squidge, a cute little bakery with locations in Soho and Bank. Their Salted Caramel Biskie is award winning and if youāre vegan or GF youāll still find delicious options to choose from."
"Cutter & Squidge are bringing the latest in hybrid desserts to London. Here, they have invented the Biskie. This is a biscuit-cookie-cake creation filled with buttercream, jam or caramel."
"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."
"Bright and airy, and where the Mediterranean meets London, Amber is what modern London is all about. The menu includes Greek feta cheese, shakshuka, grilled Jerusalem pita bread, Turkish coffee, and Kandula tea. You can order a fry-up here, but it wonāt be your traditional English breakfast ā this one is more likely to include Spanish sausages and halloumi cheese."
"For 13 years, Ice Cream Union has worked hard producing their ice cream and sorbets to some of Londonās top restaurants and influential chefs. Now itās even easier to grab a taste of their finest flavours in their first ever parlour. They focus on creating show-stopping treats each and every time, whether thatās down to hand-selecting the best fruits in peak season or sourcing the freshest milk."
"After years of supplying the best restaurants around town Ice Cream Union opened their first standalone store (outside of their Bermondsey base) in Chelsea. Itās all about attention to detail from this Bermondsey-based crew - so they might spend hours making their own honeycomb to be crushed up to go into a new summer flavour. Their dulce de leche is particularly moreish."
"They say: āOur ice cream breaks convention, and to break convention we constantly find new ways to refine our craft. From the tools we use, to the ingredients we select, everything has been meticulously planned and sourced by us for the finest results.ā. The sweet stuff: The Lionel Messi of ice cream."
"Former World Barista Champion Gwilym Davies and top UK coffee trainer Jeremy Challender opened Prufrock in 2009. Nowhere takes coffee more seriously and, if you love coffee, this place has all the gear, all the training and all the beans. At the same time, itās a friendly place and spacious enough to relax and enjoy a lengthy conversation."
"With an impressive selection of breakfast and brunch dishes, The Breakfast Club is a top choice if you're looking for delicious American food near London Bridge. You can even take a trip to the secret bar if good cocktails are your thing."
"Fronted by a pair of intimidating 15in naval guns and a piece of the Berlin Wall, this riveting museum is housed in what was the Bethlem Royal Hospital, a psychiatric hospital also known as Bedlam. Although the museumās focus is on military action involving British or Commonwealth troops largely during the 20th century, it covers war in the wider sense. Must-see exhibits include the state-of-the-art First World War Galleries and Witnesses to War in the forecourt and atrium above."
"This historic warship, operated today by Imperial War Museums, will definitely be of interest to military buffs, or anyone with even a slight interest in boats. Launched just before the outbreak of World War 2, this Royal Navy Light Cruiser saw action in both World War 2 and the Korean War, before being decommissioned in 1963."

"Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen, noodles in a rich, pork-bone broth, is what they do here, and they do it spectacularly well. Arguably the best in London, this authentic Japanese dish will set the bar for all ramen to follow. The broth is flavoursome, the noodles silky with just the right amount of bite, and toppings range from traditional, comforting pork belly to fiery jalapeƱos and caramelised black garlic (donāt order the latter if you have an afternoon business meeting)."
"Trading on authenticity, this ramen chain dispenses its bowls of noodles in long-simmered bone-stock broth with impressive speed and Japanese efficiency. The Dracula tonkotsu is a must-have, the hirata buns are wickedly good, and thereās an awesome choice of sake, shochu and umeshu for aficionados. Flagship site: 3 Denman Street, W1D 7HA"
"Sushi Samba is housed on the 38th floor of Heron Tower, offering Japanese-Brazilian-Peruvian sushi in a design-savvy setting.

Well, thanks to SUSHISAMBA you can enjoy the energy and spirit of these three distinct cultures in one sitting. So whether youāre after a Japanese hit, a taste of Peruvian cooking or, a touch of Brazilian fire, thereās certainly options for all!"
"Located on the 38th and 39th floor of the Heron Tower, SushiSamba is quite literally the top of the pops when it comes to sushi restaurants in London. Not only does this classy joint have killer views, but it also has a menu thatāll knock your socks off. Whether you decide to sit inside or out on the terrace, youāre in for a treat."
