The main attraction is backed up by selections of Italian cheeses, cured meats and gutsy salads."

"The Brunel museum is situated above the Thames Tunnel, Brunel's amazing feat of engineering which saw him construct the oldest tunnel under water in the oldest metro system in the world. A visit to the museum tells visitors how he built the tunnel, which took 18 long years and cost many lives, and if you book a guided tour, you can climb down in to the shaft which used to serve the tunnel, and listen to an actor guide recreate the conditions that Brunel and his workers faced more than 185 years ago when they started construction. It is a fascinating piece of history and the museum is simply but fascinatingly done."

"It’s time to get physical with this museum, which is dedicated to the Industrial Revolution’s biggest engineering science don, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The museum is actually housed inside one of Brunel’s extraordinary creations: the Thames Tunnel, which is the oldest tunnel to run under a river in the world. Discover how the tunnel was constructed and explore the chamber where Brunel nearly drowned trying to build it."

"If you happen to be strolling down picturesque Elizabeth Street, in Belgravia, in the early hours of the morning you'll be hit by two things. First, the glorious smell, and secondly, the long queue of those eager to get their hands on one of Dominique Ansel's delightful baked goods. The man behind the famous Cronut (a doughnut-croissant hybrid) has decided to make his way across the pond to show you what you've been missing out on (ask the Manhattanites - they quite happily queue up to four hours. TRUE STORY)."

"Four years ago, acclaimed patissiere Dominique Ansel gave to the pastry world the gift it didn’t know it wanted. The Cronut, a cross between a croissant and a doughnut, was hailed by TIME magazine as one of the greatest inventions of the year. This gratuitously enjoyable creation – a ring of sugary, flakey, layered pastry – is now served up in Ansel’s Belgravia bakery with changing monthly flavours – if you’re popping down today, October is banana and toasted oat ganache."

"No dessert round-up is complete without a mention of the Cronut. This croissant-donut hybrid is the creation of French-American chef, Dominique Ansel. He first served it at his bakery in Soho, Manhattan and is now it is the holy-grail of breakfasts treats in London."
