Best Gelato in Abridge

"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."

"Restaurants Vegetarian Camden Market. They say:‘Europe’s firstliquid nitrogen ice-cream parlour.’. The sweet stuff: Cherry pie and chocolate cookier but the main event is the kits for creating you own nitrogen ice cream."

"A thick, brownie-like cookie with sweet-and-sticky dulce de leche, toasted hazelnuts and cranberries, it’s luxurious – full of Valhrona chocolate – and super indulgent. 54 Greek St, London W1D 3DS or 49-50 Camden Lock Pl, London NW1 8AF. Open for take-away in the weekends."

"If you know, you know – and a lot of south Londoners know about Milk. Balham’s neighbourhood brunch hero has built up a cult following over the years, with the resulting queues resulting in its diminutive, rustic quarters needing to spill out onto al fresco tables. Go green with the Gaia, which tops toast with avocado and bay carrot puree, along with pickled courgettes and pumpkin seed pesto, or get the full morning-after treatment with the Convict muffin, which comes topped with a Gloucester Old Spot pork patty, bacon, egg, Lincolnshire poacher cheese and “hangover sauce”."

"Restaurants Australian Balham. Still the place to be seen for breakfast or brunch in Balham, this achingly fashionable café is run by a bevy smiling staff who serve up tongue-in-cheek twists on the old favourites, plus some unusual items such as confit duck rillettes on toast with burnt grape agridulce, elderberry and strawberry umeboshi. Coffee provides a good caffeine kick (Workshop features among its suppliers), while a playlist of the owners’ favourite records adds to the feelgood vibe."

"Balham has become something of a brunch mecca in recent years, with hip Hildreth Street spot Milk taking centre stage. Set up by Aussie duo Julian Porter and Lauren Johns, Milk first opened back in 2012 as M1LK, but in 2015 it underwent a refurbishment, re-opening without the numeral as Milk. First thing’s first: you will have to queue on weekends, as the Balham brunchers are out in force – but hold out, because the food really is top-notch."

"With its blue-and-white tiled decor, you could easily be in Italy and not the middle of Soho. It’s all about authentic Italian gelato here made with fresh and natural ingredients. But strictly traditional this ain’t!"

"We have some great gelato in London Town but my faves by far are @gelupogelateria in Soho. This is Malted Milk with Blood Orange sorbet."

"Ice Cream , Italian"

"Trust us, this is some of the best vegan gelato you’ll find in London. Even though not all of the options are vegan-friendly, the ones that are are really, really great. By using both carefully selected ingredients and artisanship, the award-winning La Gelatiera has concocted a wide range of options that even the snobbiest of gelato fans won’t be able to turn their noses up at."

"Address: 17 Topsfield Rd, Crouch End, London N8 8PP and 27 New Row, Covent Garden, London WC2N 4LA and 1 West Park Walk, East Village, London E20 1DH. The multi-award winning artisan gelato shop is not to be missed. It combines carefully chosen ingredients, craftmanship and creativity with great success - and to ensure freshness with gelato is made in small batches each day."

"La Gelateria co-founder Antonio has ice cream in his blood - his grandfather used to make ice cream in a small village in Calabria. And when Antonio and friend and co-founder Stephane decided to launch their own gelateria then first took a year out to travel around Italy for inspiration. It paid off, as their gelato has won multiple awards since opening."

"Unsurprisingly, Crêpeaffaire know a thing or two about flippin' good pancakes. Whether you have a sweet tooth or fancy something savoury, you won't be disappointed with Crêpeaffaire's vast menu (including no-gluten options, winning!). From eggs Benedict to smoked salmon with cream cheese, channel your favourite brunch flavours in crêpe form with their winning savoury breakfast-inspired menu."

"Crepeaffaire is a popular chain for a reason, as it serves up delicious desserts that never disappoint. Whether you fancy a classic Nutella crepe or want to push the boat out with something more outlandish, you won’t find a better crepe in London. This is definitely one of the best desserts in London!"

"Address: 1st floor, Fortnum & Mason, 181 Piccadilly, St. James's, London W1A 1ER. High end and extravagant, this is great way to experience a twist on the famous tea shop, where you can build your own sundae, chose a classic Knickerbocker Glory or enjoy a fruity sorbet. As well as a selection of new and innovative ice creams, including an afternoon tea-inspired sundae, this luxurious London cafe also offers artisanal coffee, hot chocolate and savoury snacks."

"For those wanting a fancy ice cream experience, you probably can’t do any better than The Parlour at Fortnum & Mason. The Parlour offers a range of decadent ice creams based on retro British faves like the knickerbocker glory and the banana split. And for those who want to push the boat out even further, there’s even the ‘Afternoon Tea in Ice Cream Form,’ which is exactly what it says on the tin."

"Treat yourself at high-end ice-cream spot, The Parlour at Fortnum & Mason. As well as a selection of new and innovative ice creams, including an afternoon tea-inspired sundae, this luxurious London eatery also offers artisanal coffee, hot chocolate and savoury snacks."

"5 Kingly Street, Carnaby, London W1B 5PF Why should you care?. They already have a hidden 1940s immersive cocktail bar in a tube carriage - now Cahoots is about to grow. They're opening up two new spaces in Soho, keeping the 1940s theme - with a ground floor cafe and a hidden cocktail bar below."

"Healthy eating is made effortless at the kooky Squeeze Cafe, whipping up powerful fruit smoothies (Bee Pollen and Milk Thistle come highly recommended) and colourful superfoods. Moroccan sharing plates, towering burgers and classic breakfast dishes draw a young crowd craving cleansing brunches and fruit juices to soothe a hangover, but the crowds flood in through to the evening. A surprisingly long list of craft beers, fruit ciders, wines and spirits is available until 11.30pm, so there’s really no need to move on when dinner’s finished."

"‘Gold Healthy Eating Award’ Winners and trading since 2005, the Squeeze is proud to say we are now in our 13th year. AT THE SQUEEZE CAFE YOU WI ..."

"Waterloo has some great platforms to get Tube/subway photographs. This picture was from the Bakerloo platform which has a nice bendy platform. Try waiting for people to go and set your shutter speed a bit slow for some motion."

"St Etheldreda’s Church is the oldest church in London, and one of only two in the city which have survived since the reign of Edward I. The exact date in which the building was constructed is unknown but is expected to be between 1250 and 1290. Dedicated to the Anglo-Saxon saint Etheldreda who founded the monastery at Ely back in 673 the church was purchased by the Catholic Church in 1874 and opened in 1878. As such it’s now one of the oldest operational churches in England owned by the Catholic Church."

"St Ethelreda Ely is a fragment of a medieval ecclesiastical palace belonging to the Bishop of Ely. It used to be the chapel and dates from 1293. The crypt incorporates older walls that may have been part of the Roman basilica."

"Beer Merchants have distributed on behalf of European breweries ­— Belgian ones especially ­— for the past 30 years. That history has culminated in a substantial taproom around the corner from Hackney Wick Overground station, from where beers that are a challenge to find on draught elsewhere are being poured: Cantillon, De Dolle, De La Senne, to name but a few. Hundreds of others stock the fridges, while the taproom will soon have its own “blendery” — the first of its kind in Britain."

"A post shared by Beer Merchants Tap (@beer_merchants_tap) on Jan 19, 2019 at 10:28am PST. Though not technically a brewery (yet), we’d feel remiss not to mention Beer Merchants Tap on our list. This establishment serves over 500 ciders and beers from across the globe – that’s quite the tasting session if you have the stomach for it."
