Best Gelato in Ealing

"When Chin Chin first opened their first place in a former condom shop (yes, really) in Camden their crazy take on making ice cream with liquid nitrogen may have been pre-Instagram but it was still an almost instant sensation. The thing is that it's not just a party trick, the ice cream they make here really does taste smoother because there are no ice crystals. They've also used their USP to devise a clever way of chilling ice cream down to a level that it can actually be sent by post."

"Don’t go to Chin Chin Labs for your average cake and cookie because ‘simple’ really isn’t in their vocabulary. They are most famous for their ice-cream made with liquid nitrogen but what a lot of people don’t 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."

"The ice cream pioneers behind Chin Chin Labs have expanded its epicurean empire. The Chin Chin Club in Soho opens this month as a revolutionary cake and ice cream club. On the menu are deluxe sundaes, choux buns, and cookies with molten centres."

"Restaurants Australian Balham. If your idea of a gentle awakening in the morning is a nice cup of tea while listening to Radio 2, you’d best go elsewhere – you can hear the sound of deep house coming through Milk’s open French windows before you reach the Bedford Hill site. The coffee provides a good caffeine kick – Workshop always seems to feature among its suppliers – and the menu lists some interesting hot dishes, such as confit duck rillettes on toast with burnt grape agridulce, elderberry and strawberry umeboshi."

"You certainly can’t sugarcoat this one – because there’s enough sweetness to count for your sugar intake for at least a week… That being said, Milk Train in Covent Garden is best known for its extravagant candy floss beasts circled around whippy topped in an array of sprinkles. Once you’ve taken enough photos to fill your Instagram feed for the next week, allow yourself to dive into this candy-filled goodness – just try not to fall into a sugar coma afterwards…. Location: 12 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden WC2E 7PH"

"Run by the same duo behind Bocca di Lupo in Soho, Gelupo doesn’t really need an introduction. The smoothest, creamiest, most generous scoops of gelato in creative flavours like Snickers, ricotta sour cherry – tangy, slightly nutty, always a favourite – and custard millefeuille, follow Gelupo on Instagram for the latest specials. 7 Archer St, Soho, London W1D 7AU"

"We know you’ve had a lot of sugar, but try to keep your cool. It’s an easy task at Gelupo, the Italian-style gelateria from chef Jacob Kenedy of nearby pasta sensation Bocca di Lupo. The gelato here is made fresh everyday – it’s a creamier recipe than most ice creams, but also lower in fat."

"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."

"The name “La Gelatiera” refers to the traditional gelato churn that’s been used by well-trained ice cream artisans to make gelato for centuries. La Gelatiera carries on that tradition in its laboratory while also incorporating more modern twists through Heston Blumenthal-esque flavours such as basil and chilli or porcini chocolate cream. The latter is a flavour totally unique to La Gelatiera – a blend that marries the earthy notes of a porcini mushroom with sweet and creamy chocolate."

"Restaurants Ice-cream parlours Stratford. If putting a smile on people’s faces was an Olympic sport, La Gelatiera would definitely go home with a gold. Their spot in East Village, E20 in Stratford, is more sociable than the Covent Garden original, with a ‘theatre’ where you can watch the gelato being made."

"Savoury scoops like basil and chilli, honey and rosemary or fresh watercress and lime, these flavours are bold but award-winning. That being said, the less adventurous milk chocolate is silky and super rich, simple but so perfect."

"There’s something pleasantly old-fashioned about its looks, at least inside, but that helps it feel rather authentic – you almost imagine it could be hidden away in a small seaside town on the Amalfi coast that most people just drive through. It’s made the old way here, with eggs, and so the gelato really is very good, all very natural and traditional, with flavours to match. Try their coffee, too."

"Those with a sweet tooth should visit ultra-cool Gelatorino. Take your pick from delicious Italian flavour creations including amaretto and panettone, as well as sorbet and gelato cocktails, made using only the very best natural ingredients."

"This Camberwell business is all about sweet treats - namely cakes - but their ice cream menu is also worth a try including their specials - cornflake ice cream and watermelon sorbet. Delivery: Via their online shop andUberEats. Check Instagram for the latest info: @midnightmunchiesss"

"Stoke Newington’s neighbourhood gelateria is a quiet hit, going about local business through lockdowns and beyond. If anything based on ricotta is on, order it, while the extra dark chocolate sorbet is reminiscent of Florence gelateria Neri’s version (that is to say, it’s outstanding) and the parlour’s speciality, “biscokrok,” is an Italianate riff on cookies and cream that will convert anyone hardened by a bad experience with Ben and Jerry."

"Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Stoke Newington, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil ice cream makes civil hands unclean. Or – y’know – something like that. Romeo & Giulietta is a sweet neighbourhood ice cream parlour that you’re destined to fall in love with as soon as you walk through the door."

"The ice cream here is some of the best in London but it’s kind of an unknown spot unless you live in the area (which luckily we do!). When the weather’s nice there’s a usually a queue down the street for this authentic Italian gelato, with flavours including ricotta and fig; salted caramel; supreme pistachio; and extra dark chocolate sorbet."

"Home to the Crown Jewels, the iconic beefeaters, and (allegedly) several spooks, the Tower of London’s history dates back nearly 1,000 years. Standing guard by Tower Bridge and the River Thames, the medieval compound has served as a royal palace, prison, and execution site. Legend has it, these royal ghosts haunt Britain to this day!"

"Over 900 years old, this great castle is located in the centre of the city. It has been used for a wide range of purposes over the years including holding the crown jewels and housing various prisoners. It is for this reason that tourists hardly ever miss a chance to take a trip back in time and explore this medieval masterpiece."

Danson Park is a great family destination, with a peaceful rock garden and a wildlife-rich nature reserve, plus Grade I-listed Danson House."

": Row upon row of glass jars, with everything from tiny organisms, to strange two-headed beasts, to examples of gross diseases, this museum can be very creepy at times, especially when it’s quiet. However, it’s so much more than the freakshow that it is sometimes made out to be, offering a unique insight into the history of surgery and advances in modern medicine. The next few months are your last chance to see the museum before it closes in 2017 for refurbishment, so get going!"

"Kings College London only recently opened this permanent site for the Science Gallery, a dedicated space for showing contemporary artwork that explores scientific questions. Its inaugural exhibition is all about addiction, called Hooked, and previous shows in its travelling days have investigated blood, food and orifices. Think of it as looking at science through the eyes of an artist."

"Science Gallery London is an art-science-and-health inspired gallery in London. The free museum has been open since 2018 in London Bridge after a series of pop-up exhibits across London. The gallery aims to bring together scientists, artists, and communities with three themed seasons every year."
