"đłđ˛đżâď¸đđđąThe 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.

"What: Sky Garden may be known for its lush greenery (the perfect backdrop for an impromptu photoshoot), but its sprawling views of the capital are also worth a mention. The Sky Pod bar, which isnât separated from the rest of the space, allows guests to stand around admiring the views or pull up a chair to rest their legs. All the usual drinks can be found here (including a selection of signature cocktails), while the food menu features sharing platters of charcuterie, seafood or dessert."
"At the Sky Garden youâll 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 itâs free. Head to skygarden.london for more info."
"What started as an ice cream store dedicated to liquid nitrogen creations, Chin Chin Labs has come a long way in delivering some of the best bites in town. Burnt butter caramel ice cream pies and loaded tiramisu sundaes join this mouthwatering brownie cookie ice cream sando (from ÂŁ5.45) that can be customised with the likes of black sesame ice cream, molten chocolate, bee pollen honeycomb and whatever else takes your fancy. Now that's our kinda sandwich."
"The original Camden parlour is now back open for fans of Chin Chinâs 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 â Sunday, 12 p.m."
"If you gave a bunch of five year olds a box of crayons and told them to draw birthday cakes, youâd probably end up with something that looks quite a bit like the celebration cakes at this Soho bakery and cafĂŠ. Thatâs not a bad thing. Cakes with names like âStrawberry Eat-On Messâ*, âSâMoresâ, âApple Pieâ â as a cake, and âPopcorn Dripâ are short on cake and very long on globs of frosting, fillings, toppings and childlike humor."
"From show stopping dripped cakes to the glossiest salted caramel weâve ever seen, Cutter & Squidge is the bakery to go to if youâre in need of a special birthday treat or serious âIâm sorryâ gift. All products are made with 100% natural products and as little sugar as possible â donât worry, they still taste devilishly sweet. Where:Various locationsWebsite:www.cutterandsquidge.com"
"A Biskie is a sandwiched dessert thatâs 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 youâre vegan or GF youâll still find delicious options to choose from."
"Head to the E5 Bakehouse under the railway arches at London Fields for a changing menu of cakes, tarts and patisserie, from brownies and perfectly-formed raspberry financiers to classic eccles cakes and crème brulee tarts. The seating area is small and, between the open kitchen and trains running overhead, a little noisy, but in a typically east London bustling way. And the pecan pie is â and Iâm only slightly exaggerating â the best Iâve tasted this side of the Atlantic."
"E5 Bakehouse are one of London's premier sourdough providers and you'll find them in many a restaurant too. The range also includes a spelt loaf, rye breads and buns and plenty of top drawer pastries. Brunch at their cafe is very popular, and they have a coffee roastery in Poplar."
"E5 Bakehouse offers all the homely warmth you could want from a pastry shop. Get cosy at the bakeryâs gorgeous wooden tables and enjoy the smell of freshly baked bread in the background. Indulge in all the classics alongside some modern revamps."
"Dine on fine, seasonal British ingredients prepared with French influences at Marcus, acclaimed chef Marcus Wareing's flagship Michelin-starred restaurant in Belgravia. Lake District sirloin with bordelaise sauce, Cornish lobster with scorched yam or pan-roasted foie gras with cep and brioche: the menu is packed with bold and indulgent flavours."
"Located on Wilton Place, this Knightsbridge restaurant is a must for all food lovers. The perfect place for a special occasion, this Marcus Wareing-led spot serves up gorgeous plates like slow-cooked egg with courgette, truffle and girolles alongside desserts that combine coffee with mascarpone and bourbon."
"Brought to you by the Goodman Restaurant Group, the people behind the Burger & Lobster restaurants, this restaurant champions the beasts of land and sea â the finest beef and Norwegian Red King Crab. The crab comes from the Norway King Crab company in Bugøynes, a small town on the Northern Norwegian/Russian border that benefits from the behemoths of crustacians. While the meat is handpicked from around the globe â everything from USDA Nebraskaâs 150-day corn fed Chateaubriand to A5 Grade Japanese Wagyu Sirloin."
"Hidden in Marylebone, there is a secluded terrace where those in the know go for decadent platters of fruits de mer and glasses of champagne. For the cooler months, flare heaters provide ample warmth for the Beast experience, where king crab and Angus steak are always a highlight."
"What:Beast is the kind of pricy restaurant only people with serious money frequent. Vast wooden tables, which stretch the length of the dining room, ensure that any meal at Beast feels like a banquet. Steaks are the main draw but donât overlook the seafood."
"13/06/2021: Non so se sia cambiato qualcosa nel corso degli anni, ma come rapporto qualitå / prezzo è sempre stato ottimo. Si puó scegliere il grado di piccante del pollo ( veramente buono ) e le bibite sono self service e a volontå ,con un prezzo fisso nel menú che si sceglie.Mi sono fermato piu volte da Nando's e sono contento che questa catena sia resistita nel corso degli anni.Consigliato. 29/05/2021: Went to Nando's because we were starving."
"This Portuguese chain is the peopleâs choice for peri-peri chicken, but also makes its money with burgers, wraps, pittas, salads and steaks. As a family-friendly go-to option, it has special menus for young ânandinosâ too. Flagship site: 10 Frith Street, W1D 3JF"
"A post shared by THE CRAFT BEER BLOGGER (@thecraftbeerblogger). Expect creative and flavour-packed beers at By The Horns Brewing Co. in south London. Combining British beer tradition with the American brewing approach, the company creates seasonal and one-off brews with uncommon flavours to broaden the styles of beers available in London."
"Serving excellent Italian cuisine, Mamma Ristorante conjures a vibrant menu in a quaint neighbourhood setting. Boasting a cosy front garden, diners are able to bask in the al fresco dining option in the chic Richmond area of London."
"What: If youâre someone who believes weekends exist for boozy brunches, then youâre sure to have heard of Gauchoâs Electro Brunch Feast. Hedonistic to the extreme, this banquet â there really is no other way to describe it â includes tables groaning with the weight of unlimited food and drink to the tune of whatever smooth beats the DJ feels like spinning. This all you can eat offering includes all manner of brunch dishes from eggs Benedict to bacon sarnies, steak and eggs, and burrata on sourdough, all served up with an epic line-up of free-flowing cocktails."
"Nestled between Tower Bridge and London Bride is Gauchoâs tranquil terrace. The Argentinian restaurantâs al-fresco dining area offers guests magnificent panoramic views across the River Thames in an exclusive setting. Drinks are served from a stylish cocktail bar whilst inside diners can tuck into with our menu showcasing impeccable Argentinian steaks and Latin American inspired food."
"The Gaucho group is back with a new CEO and a new concept (including a beef bar), starting with a reinvention of its Charlotte Street site."
