Best Gelato in Royal Military Academy

"The original Camden parlour is now back open for fans of Chin Chin’s 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 — Sunday, 12 p.m."

"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."

"For something a little different, head to Chin Chin Labs, the go-to parlour for liquid nitrogen ice cream in London. Watch as your dessert is frozen to order using a dash of liquid nitrogen, and select from an exciting array of weekly-changing flavours at this cool cafe in Camden."

"Covering an ice cream cone in a tutu of candy floss and sprinkles might seem like a bit much but you can’t deny that Milktrain’s ethos of “more is more” has made it one of the most popular ice cream shops in London. Yes, it might be a gimmick aimed at getting punters to take #FoodPorn shots and do some free advertising on the ‘gram, but you can’t hate Milktrain for being media savvy, can you?. And, to be honest, you can’t really hate their ice cream, either."

"If you’re looking for a London dessert that’s super Instagrammable but also insanely delicious, Milk Train is the place to go. Their soft serve ice cream comes with a whole variety of sugary toppings, including giant sprinkles, Oreos, chocolate pretzels and popcorn, and surrounded by a choo-choo candy floss cloud. You can create your own cone or choose from one of their colourful creations."

"If you’re looking for cool dessert places in London, this is a great option. Milk Train Cafe’s soft serve ice cream comes on its very own cloud of candy floss!. Pick your flavour then add your toppings before being presented with an enormous sugar fix."

"Gelupo, opposite Jacob Kenedy’s Bocca di Lupo on Archer Street, has been shaking things up since it first opened in 2010, and continues to do so, thank to punchy flavour combos and a constantly changing roster of specials. Reopened to reassuring havoc in Soho, the specials include the Italian Easter cake Colomba, and a millefoglie with puff pastry folded into custard base."

"Gelupo – Gelupo is as italian as it can get in central london. The excellent gelatos and sorbets are kept fresh in a deep counter"

"Ice Cream , Italian"

"La Gelatiera is a great all rounder ice cream shop, hosting a generous selection of artisan gelato with flavours including usual favourites as well as some more unconventional yet delicious alternatives. Honey, rosemary and orange zest is our top pick here, making for a light and refreshing treat. With vegan gelato options on the menu like pistachio and dark chocolate with chilli, there’s no need for anyone to miss out on the joy here."

"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."

"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."

"Inspired by the ice cream sold on the streets of Manila, Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream specialise in Filipino ice cream, halo halo shaved ice, and bilog. The blog – a fetching toasted pandesal ice cream sandwich that’s guaranteed to hit triple digit likes on your Instagram – is one of the best hot-meets-cold desserts you can get in the city and sells out unsurprisingly fast. As for the ice cream itself?"

"Mamason’s Dirty Ice Cream is a Filipino ice cream parlour that does SUCH GOOD STUFF. The BEST thing to get here is the Bilog, which is a traditional Filipino milk bun, with ice cream inside, and then it’s toasted. It’s essentially a hot ice cream sandwich. Their signature ice cream flavour is the Ube (pronounced oo-bae), made with native Filipino purple yam, and it’s FREAKING GOOD people!!"

"Ice Cream , Filipino"

"The Soft Service Society sounds like the sort of society that I wish had existed when I went to university. Just imagine the socials that you’d have had: neck-deep in cookies and cream with the only tangible danger being the possibility of waking up the next day still buzzing with a sugar rush from the night before. I’d certainly prefer necking back litres of soft, whipped ice cream and shots of marshmallow fluff than fluorescent bottles of WKD and sambuca."

"Swerving away from the richer delights of gelato, Soft Serve Society keeps its ice cream light and bright. The sweet Shoreditch spot now boasts a second home in Market Halls Victoria, and this ice cream parlour whips up soft serve in unexpected flavours – vanilla and coconut are joined by matcha and charcoal – or served in towering sundaes. Frozen fiends can go for the candyfloss billowing Cloud 9 sundae, or tuck into a multi-storey freakshake."

"The 99 Flake may be an undisputed icon of the ice cream world, but Soft Serve Society gives Mr Whippy something to answer for. Soft serve ice cream comes in vanilla, matcha and an alarmingly grey-coloured charcoal coconut, which is sold either on its own or as part of a decadent sundae cup. Choose between the likes of an “Oh Snap!"

"Luxuriously crafted from a signature blend of almonds and cashews, their thick, rich and outrageously creamy soft serve is an all-natural, vegan-friendly dessert that has developed a cult following on Instagram. A scroll through their feed will have you salivating over their creations, which can be topped with cacao fudge sauce, salted nut crumble and 70% cacao dark chocolate shavings – or a shot of coffee for their infamous ‘Daffogato’. Their unique ‘Triple C’ waffle cones are made with cinnamon, chia seed and charcoal, produced to a bespoke recipe by the Antonelli Brothers – the first and now only UK maker of waffle cones."

"It’s tricky to resist Bubblewrap – not just the plastic kind and its addictive popping potential, but also the Chinatown dessert sensation and its waffle-wrapped desserts. The West End dessert shop sells waffles made in a bubble-indented iron, inspired by the egg waffles of Hong Kong. The curiously textured dough is then shaped into a cone and stuffed with ice cream, nuts, fresh fruits, oreos and sauces, among many other rotating toppings."

"You may have seen some of these massive cones floating around on Instagram, and it’s definitely one of the best desserts in London. The egg waffles made at Bubblewrap are filled with incredible gelato, and you can pack as many toppings onto your monstrous creation as you wish. Located in Chinatown, it’s one of those crazy desserts in London that you need to try once!"

"OK so every child is partial to sugary treats, but Bubblewrap is Chinatown’s must-visit destination for outrageously good confections. Within a Hong-Kong style waffle wrap hides soft matcha or chocolate ice cream, layers of sticky sauce, crushed Oreo and fresh fruit. In fact, Bubblewrap is so good, they’ll be begging you to return each week."

"The elegant redbrick exterior of the smallest of Britain's royal palaces seems almost humble when compared with the grandeur of, say,…"

"Arguably London’s finest smaller gallery, the Wallace Collection is an enthralling glimpse into 18th-century aristocratic life. The sumptuously restored Italianate mansion houses a treasure trove of 17th- and 18th-century paintings, porcelain, artefacts and furniture collected by generations of the same family and bequeathed to the nation by the widow of Sir Richard Wallace (1818–90) on the condition it remain displayed in the same fashion."

"Held in the Marquesses of Hertford’s former townhouse, the Wallace Collection is one of the world’s finest collections of French 18th century paintings and decorative art. Once owned by Edward Seymour, nephew of Queen Jane Seymour, the noble 17th century townhouse is a thing of beauty in itself. However, it’s the paintings, sculptures, furniture, medieval objects, and armour that undoubtedly take centre stage."

"This church was initially built in the 13th century when it was known as St Olave-towards-the-Tower, dedicated to the patron saint of Norway, King Olaf II. It was a favourite place of worship of the diarist Samuel Pepys, and he and his wife Elizabeth are both buried in the nave of the church. The present building was erected in 1450, and survived the Great Fire in 1666 thanks to Sir William Penn (whose son would found Pennsylvania) and his men from the local naval yard."

"As one of several churches in London with Scandinavian connections, St Olave Hart Street is often claimed to have been established as early as 1056. However, this may be true, as the memories of Olaf’s London adventures were at their best during this period. Furthermore, it was just a short period of time before Norway attempted to invade England in 1066."

"It was one of a small number to survive the Great Fire of London. It suffered far greater damage during the London Blitz of World War II, and the 15th century body of the church was restored by the mid-1950s. It’s a small church with a wealth of history."

"The Davies Alpine House is a somewhat different greenhouse, it is quite long (16m) and high (10m) and was designed to provide ideal conditions, fresh with natural wind for the best conditions the mountain plants. The collection features a wide range of campanulas, dianthus, small ferns, helichrysum, small lavenders, primulas, saxifrage, thymus, tulips and verbascums along with lesser known species."

"Many of the plants at Kew couldn't survive in Britain's grey, damp climate. The Davies Alpine House supports those that thrive in dry, cool, windy conditions of mountainous areas such as succulents and campanulas,"

"Lose yourself amongst the stone pines, olive trees, and cypresses of this typical Mediterranean landscape. The King William's Temple stands in the middle of the garden, lending a sense of grandeur to the vibrant landscape."

"Gardens emerge in the unlikeliest of places, including this tropical beauty atop a railway station. Crossrail hasn’t quite reached Canary Wharf yet, but this stunning spot is open for business—as is the adjacent street food hall!. COVID-19 UPDATE: Crossrail Place Roof Garden is open 8am-9pm daily."
