"đłđČđżâïžđđđ±The Sky Garden at 20 Fenchurch Street is a unique public space that spans three storeys and offers 360 degree uninterrupted views across the City of London. Visitors can wander around the exquisitely landscaped gardens, observation decks and an open air terrace of what is London's highest public gardenđČđłđŽđ±đâïžđż #skygarden #london #beautiful #views #restaurant #stunning #londonbridge #bigben #toweroflondon #theshard #mustsee.

"The ferns, fig trees and purple African lilies that clamber up the final three storeys of the 'Walkie Talkie' skyscraper are mere wallflowers at this 155m-high rooftop garden â it's the rather extraordinary 360-degree views of London (the best in the City) that make this vast, airport-terminal-like space so popular (advance booking recommended). Located on the 35th floor of 20 Fenchurch St, the Sky Garden has front-row seats for the Shard and vistas that gallop for miles east and west."
"Located on floor 36 of the iconic Walkie Talkie, the views from the Darwin Brasserie are pretty striking. Although Fenchurch Restaurant â one of Sky Gardenâs other offerings â is higher, the Darwin Brasserie has better views thanks to its position further back from the Sky Gardenâs atrium roof. A good option if you want to enjoy the sights without the flocks of camera totting tourists."
"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 (anyone for halva black tahini?), but also full-on desserts â thereâs some seriously elaborate stuff going on here amid all the bells and whistles."
"Must try: Griddled vegan cookie dough with burnt butter ice cream. Chin Chin is Europeâs very first liquid nitrogen ice-cream parlour and one of the best spots to discover some of the most unique and delicious desserts in London. Their exciting selection of ice cream flavours are frozen with liquid nitrogen in giant tanks, in a space that looks more like a mad scientists lab than a dessert parlour."
"For truly breathtaking ice-cream creations, head on down to Chin Chin. This little dessert spot is famous for its extravagant flavors (you can find things like meringue pie and tonka bean on the menu!), and you can even grab a signature hot chocolate if you want something to enjoy on the go. Such a great option if youâre looking for the best desserts in London."
"This North London bakery describes itself as âa bit health consciousâ: cakes contain low fat and sugar, but enough to ensure they taste delicious. Cutter & Squidge cakes make the perfect centrepiece for a big celebration too: the Macron Drip Cake, for instance, is a layered creation decorated with macarons, topped with chocolate shards and finished with 24 carat gold. Vegan cakes are also available, and everything can be personalised."
"Nestled in the heart of Soho lives Cutter & Squidge, artisan cake makers who specialise in extravagance and wonder. Serving up slices of uniquely flavoured and decorated cakes along with their signature Biskie - a mix of cake, biscuit and cookie topped with marshmallow, buttercream and other goodies - itâs a one-of-a-kind shop in London. And itâs not just for the dairy eaters and gluten-friendly."
"Itâs pretty, itâs pink and the cakes and treats are equally as gorgeous to eat as well as look at. Their famous for their âbiskieâ 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."
"For cosy vibes and some of the best American pancakes in central London What to eat?. Pancakes and berries with whipped cream and syrup. As youâd expect from a cafĂ© called The Breakfast Club (named in honour of the classic 1980âs movie) these guys know how to deliver the goods when it comes to a good morning feed."
"Love Island is back on our screens, weâve got piled high pancakes & best of all- weâre adding NEW DISHES to our menu TOMORROW!.

"Your all-day brunch dreams have been answered at this chain, with dishes like pancakes, bacon and eggs, oatmeal, and everything in between. There are plenty of low-cost dishes that'll keep you full all day. And yes, they also have cocktails."
"Italian-originating Said is the London offshoot of Romeâs oldest chocolate shop, but the gravity of such status doesnât stop it from getting a little silly. Hot chocolate here transcends warm beverage to full-blown dessert â rich, thick, molten chocolate is spooned into cups so generously it often overflows. Cakes can be ordered here too, with the option of adding a dutiful drenching of hot milk, dark or white chocolate sauce."
"Mini ĂphĂ©mĂšre, a lemon and yuzu meringue and cream version of the Merveilleux. Finding a delicious sweet treat for less than ÂŁ2 anywhere in London is rare but finding something that will put your sweet tooth into a trance in South Kensington for ÂŁ1.20 is some kind of miracle. At Aux Merveilleux de Fred, the mini versions of their namesake confections are so light â and inexpensive â that you can indulge without guilt."
"For the melt-in-the-mouth pastry experience only a true French chef such as FrĂ©dĂ©ric Vaucamps can achieve, book yourself in at Aux Merveilleux de Fred. Famed for their brioches, meringues and truffles, which are must-buys, the whole menu is highly acclaimed. Do yourself a favour and get some takeaway buns to enjoy as you travel around the rest of the city â they are truly merveilleux."
"This dog-friendly east London cafĂ© is certainly one to add to your London vegan food roster. Not only is there a full vegan English breakfast, complete with crispy hash browns, roasted plum tomatoes and grilled sourdough dripping in creamy vegan butter, they also serve seriously generous portions, leaving even the hungriest of customers full. Thereâs far more than fry ups on offer, though: the spicy coconut ramen is a delightful winter warmer, served with silky tofu, shiitake mushrooms and thick udon noodles deliciously slurped up when drizzled in hot chilli oil."
"Restaurants Italian Holland Park. Born in Italy but now trading across London, cheery family-owned Unico is part gelateria, part caffĂš. If you fancy a luscious lick or two, there are 13 âclassicâ and âgourmetâ flavours to choose from, plus vegan options and some guest stars (theyâve been known to whip up the odd batch of Vegemite gelato)."
"Weekend brunches in South London don't get much better than this. Megan's on the Hill is a Balham mainstay serving some of the best vegan breakfast food in the city, whether you're craving avo on toast or a posh kebab, this Insta-haven is sure to deliver."

"Headed up by the legendary Padam Raj Rai, with almost two decades of experience in the Japanese culinary scene, Hot Stone Steak and Sushi Bar is a mix of trendy decor and real, full-bodied flavours. You know how we mentioned before that itâs rare to taste actually wasabi?. Well, what makes this North London sushi joint all the more special is that it is one of the only places in London that serves real wasabi root with their sushi."
"In a nutshell: Japanese ishiyaki and sushi restaurant Where is it?. 3 Windmill St, Fitzrovia, London W1T 2HY Why should you care?. Exquisite sushi, top-level Kobe beef and ishiyaki cooking is here for Fitzrovia residents."

"Located on the Clerkenwell side of Old Street, Monohon serves just six types of ramen, including three soup-less ones, one of which is served chilled. The Spicy Tonkotsu â creamy pork bone broth with thin noodles, bean sprouts, spring onions, slow cooked pork belly and spicy miso pork mince â is a winner and you can customise it to your liking, choosing level of spice, how hard you want your noodles and how big you want the bowl to be. Slurping = essential."
"At the forefront of Londonâs ramen craze, launched in 2012, Tonkotsu now has 11 London sites. While closed for eat-in customers, the restaurantsâ Bankside, Battersea, Ealing, East, Mare Street, Notting Hill, Peckham, Selfridges Oxford Street, Soho, and Stratford sites are currently offering delivery and click and collect via Deliveroo. Further information can be found at tonkotsu.co.uk."
"A post shared by Tonkotsu Bar & Ramen (@tonkotsulondon) on Aug 24, 2018 at 5:19am PDT. Sometimes what you need is a big bowl of noodles, and we can't think of a better ramen offering than at Tonkotsu. The miso and shimeji mushroom ramen uses a stock that is deeply, deeply savoury with perfect bouncy homemade noodles, packed with veg and that deliciously seasoned egg on top."
"Riding the noodle new wave that started washing over London in 2012, Tonkotsu plies a no-nonsense trade in Kyoto-style ramen â distinguished by its creamy pork-bone broth. No frills and no bookings, but there are global beers for a âbig night outâ, Tokyo-style. Flagship site: 63 Dean Street, W1D 4QG"
