"Located on the 43rd floor of the Walkie Talkie building in the City of London, the Sky Garden is the capitalās highest public garden and one of the coolest places to visit in London for free. The gardenās large plant-filled atrium has floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing panoramic views out over the city below and is open throughout the day and into the evenings on weekends ā making it one the best free things to do in London at night too!. Thereās also an open-air covered terrace on one side."
"For a lunch date to remember, 155 meters high at the top of the famous āWalkie-Talkieā building, the Sky Garden offers spectacular views of the city. But itās the incredible tropical garden which makes this iconic London landmark a must-see. There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, but for informal yet stylish lunchtime dining, we highly recommend Darwinās Brasserie to take in some of the best views of the city."
"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."
"The original Camden parlour is now back open for fans of Chin Chinās famous ice creams (churned with the aid of liquid nitrogen for a rich, dense, almost chewy texture.) They are available by the scoop with toppings, but there are also a dozen or so full-on dishes making use of them, from a tiramisu sundae to nachos with chargrilled pineapple, salted-caramel sauce, dark-chocolate ice cream and blue-corn waffle tacos. Open Friday ā Sunday, 12 p.m."
"Restaurants Vegetarian Camden Market. They say:āEuropeās firstliquid nitrogen ice-cream parlour.ā. The sweet stuff: Cherry pie and chocolate cookier but the main event isĀ theĀ kits for creating you own nitrogen ice cream."
"From show stopping dripped cakes to the glossiest salted caramel weāve ever seen, Cutter & Squidge is the bakery to go to if youāre in need of a special birthday treat or serious āIām sorryā gift. All products are made with 100% natural products and as little sugar as possible ā donāt worry, they still taste devilishly sweet. Where:Various locationsWebsite:www.cutterandsquidge.com"
"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."
"Vanilla sponge with apple jam, cinnamon buttercream ā custardy, sweet, perfectly spiced ā crispy white chocolate pearls, biscuit crumbs and an apple crisp to finish. It has all the flavours of a traditional apple pie, but itās lighter and wonderfully soft. 20 Brewer St, London W1F 0SJ. Currently online only."
"Eggslut began as a food truck in LA, known then as Old Bessie. The brainchild of chef Alvin Cailan, the truck had locals queueing for hours to get a bite ā and a snap ā of the action, which came in the form of Instagrammable egg dishes. Alvin went on to open numerous other sites around the US, before launching a site this side of the pond earlier this year."
"eggslutās two London restaurants are operating a takeaway and delivery service. Their full menu is available on select delivery apps. Following advice from WHO and the government, all of the delivery partners are offering contact-free delivery and all of eggslutās deliveries are being prepared and packed with extra care, with customer safety in mind."
"Parked in Sheldon Square, Paddington, The Cheese Truck is the perfect place to meet friends for a spot of al fresco wine and cheese. Enjoy canalside views as you sample natural wines and their signature grilled cheese sandwiches, including the likes of Cropwell Bishop Stilton with Swaledale smoked bacon and spiced pear chutney."
"An unassuming unit steps away from a Pizza Express on a Marylebone side street houses some of the areaās best quality sushi. An extensive a la carte menu of sashimi and nigiri is where to head, with a nod to the seasonal razor clam and abalone if the time is right. The knowing wit of placing ābowl of boiled riceā on āhot, eat-in menuā says everything about Ohisamaās priorities; that said, the selection of vegetarian rolls, including a fine rendition of ume shiso, is a gesture of hospitality in a space so focussed on the quality and preparation of raw fish."
"If low-key, quick-in-quick-out sushi is what youāre after, youāll be hard pressed to find better quality sushi in this part of central than Ohisamaās. This utilitarian spot has tables downstairs, but upstairs is almost entirely counter seating, and thatās where you want to be. If you go for one of the excellent omakase options, dinner will easily end up costing you Ā£70 or more, but we tend to go for one of the lower priced sushi or sashimi sets which should be more than enough if youāre not quite up for making a night of it."
"Good sushi is a marriage of produce and skill ā two things which The Araki prides itself on enough to warrant a Ā£310 price tag for its one and only menu option. The three Michelin-starred restaurant was opened by Tokyo-based sushi master Mitsuhiro Araki, who specialises in the 200-year-old practices of edomae sushi making. For four years, Araki was the only chef to serve at the London restaurant, creating and personally serving a omakase menu for just nine people per service."
"Mitsuhiro Araki, owner of the restaurant Araki, slices a piece of high quality tuna he purchased at Tsukiji Fish Market that morning. There are just five restaurants in the UK that hold three Michelin-stars, and only one of them has nine seats and costs Ā£300 a head. The Araki is arguably the most exclusive restaurant in London, with single-figure diners permitted to watch Mitsuhiro Araki expertly prepare sushi and taste the outcome at any given sitting."
"The blood and viscera has long since been scoured away, making this museum a fascinating place to visit. Pioneering medical techniques were trialled here back in the day, and today, it holds the crown as the oldest surviving surgical theatre in Europe. Tickets for adults are Ā£7.50."
"PRACTICAL INFORMATION: The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm. Tickets cost Ā£20 GBP (around $26 USD). Make sure to book your tickets and pick a time-slot in advance directly on the museum website."
"The Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum sits in a Grade II listed former Victorian waste water pumping station. The museum is dedicated to chronicling the technology, transport and industrial history of the Walthamstow area. The collection houses an impressive list of transport and machinery from steam engines to workshops to original tube cars to firefighting equipment."
"Restaurants Contemporary European Tower Bridge. The jazzy soundtrack, cool interior, sizzling steaks and sustainably sourced fish might scream āgrown-upā but this London Bridge offshoot of Brightonās Coal Shed also does the business for kids, with a mini menu thatās free for under-sevens before 7pm. Otherwise, Ā£10 pays for a minute steak, grilled fish and chips or mac ānā cheese, plus doughnuts or ice cream to finish."
"Although not solely a fish restaurant (pun both intended and regretted) and despite its steakhouse aesthetics, The Coal Shed has plenty to lure in the serious lover of seafood. Starters include market oysters, chalkstream trout, grilled gurnard fillet and scallops in shell. While whole black bream and roasted sussex cod feature on the main course menu."
