"🌳🌲🌿☘️🍃🍀🌱The 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. Visitors can wander around the exquisitely landscaped gardens, observation decks and an open air terrace of what is London's highest public garden🌲🌳🌴🌱🍀☘️🌿 #skygarden #london #beautiful #views #restaurant #stunning #londonbridge #bigben #toweroflondon #theshard #mustsee.

"The view from Rafael Viñoly’s Sky Garden, also known as the Walkie-Talkie building, is unlike any other in the city. From here you can survey London’s ever-growing sprawl with the city stretching up to the north, Tower Bridge and the Shard to the south, and Canary Wharf to the east. It’s free to explore the tower’s three stories of landscaped public gardens, but make sure to book in advance."

"Get the lift to the top of 20 Fenchurch Street and let your toddler explore London’s highest public garden. There are 360 degree views of the London skyline, gardens to run around in and a café where you can buy cakes and pastries. Cost – Free, but you need to prebook."

"Situated in one of the city's tallest buildings you find this amazing London rooftop bar and restaurant. Magical views over virtually all of the city, delicious Asian / Peruvian / Brazilian food and a wide selection of creative cocktails and sake are some of the highlights at Sushisamba. Trendy venue where people are well-dressed and the prices quite high, but also offering an experience really out of the ordinary."

"Unashamedly fusion, this restaurant and bar at the top of the Heron Tower mixes Brazilian, Peruvian and Japanese influences. One of the coolest things about the experience is being whisked up in panoramic glass elevators, Willy Wonka–style, to what are the highest dining terraces in Europe. There’s probably no better place in the city to drink in the sunset."

"The Duck and Waffle routinely makes it close to the top of ‘best London restaurant with a view’ lists, and for good reason. For one thing, it’s one of the only 24/hour London restaurants, meaning you can watch the sun rise from your table in Heron Tower if the mood takes you, chowing down on the famous duck and waffle that gave the restaurant its name, or any of the huge variety of both large and small plates that make up the only all day menu in London that is genuinely served all day (and night)."

"A sour, hesitant welcome by a pompous ground-floor doorman made for a bad start to my visit to Duck & Waffle on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower. Once in situ service is still somewhat inconsistent - I found it slow at times, over-attentive at others - but overall the vibe here is relaxed and informal. The destination is more moderately priced than Sushisamba below, the clientele more diverse and the offering more accessible."

"It’s on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, making it one of the highest bars in London and Europe, for that matter."

"Fenwick of Bond Street, 63 New Bond Street, London W1S 1RQ Why should you care?. Alexis Gauthier has unveiled a new all-vegan restaurant at Fenwick department store in Mayfair - and it even has an all-vegan sushi counter."

"Chameleon is the kind of place where a server could stand up and recite the entirety of Shakira’s ‘Whenever, Wherever’ and no one - absolutely no one - would bat an eye. Frankly, a ridiculous restaurant with a beautiful self-coined ‘God’s Garden’, all bets are off here. You can either swing by for an evening of hibiscus royales and slow-cooked kohlrabi or pop-by for an equally boozy, loud weekend ‘cowshuka’ brunch, complete with an electric violinist walking around in a full-length gold gown."

"Within every flush of new restaurants will be one gastronomic thirst trap set to lure in the glossy crowd and become the new place to see and be seen. Right now, that restaurant is Chameleon, Marylebone’s Middle Eastern ‘multi-experiential space’ headed up by Israeli chef Elior Balbul and restaurateur Alex Ghalleb, of Gold and Soho House acclaim. Set in the Grade I listed quarters of One Marylebone, dining tables spill out onto the terrace and pop up again in nine bespoke greenhouses."

"This is features Israeli chef Elior Balbul and is billed as a "Tel Avivian gastro sharing style restaurant" in purpose-built greenhouses."

"Like a catering Chumbawamba, the folks behind Native get knocked down and, well, they get up again. In the last few years, they’ve moved from Covent Garden to Southwark to… Essex (they had a brief sojourn on Osea Island last summer). Now, they’re back in the capital, this time at swanky Mayfair boutique Browns."

"The elegant wood interior is just one of the perks of dining at Rabot. The restaurant that overlooks the Borough Market, is fully dedicated to incorporate Saint Lucia's cocoa into their recipes. Rabot is owned by Hotel Chocolat, which has an amazing resort at the Caribbean island and it's bringing the best of the Saint Lucian cuisine to London."

"Restaurants Japanese Holborn. Just like everything else it does, Roka offers a slick and perfectly presented brunch offering, with a scarily tempting option to add unlimited wine. The Han Setto menu kicks off with ten sharing dishes (think chicken and sesame gyoza, prawn and vegetable tempura etc.) ahead of your chosen main (perhaps salmon teriyaki or glazed baby back ribs with cashews), while the finale is a stunning dessert platter."

"Restaurants British Southwark. Jammed onto the side of an architectural practice in Southwark, this serene Aussie-style café-restaurant is something of a quiet classic in this part of town. Come the weekend, the standard breakfast menu (lots of eggs and avocado, as you’d expect) expands into brunch territory with a host of sizeable salads and burgers, waffles, pancakes and favourites such as sweetcorn fritters."

"The House of Dreams Museum is the vision of London art director Steven Wright, who has lived in the East Dulwich home since 1982. He began to turn it into a museum in the late 90s. It serves as a shrine to his dead parents and partner."

"If you like your photographs packed with famous faces, then Proud Galleries has a veritable galaxy of stars on display at any given time. Rock stars, fashion models and the Swinging Sixties make a regular appearance at Proud’s exhibitions, with a month long 2017 exhibition dedicated to the life and times of much-missed music superstar Prince. This year will see the lens focus on the contemporary fine art paintings by British artist Mark Thompson."

"Alex Proud launched Proud Galleries in 1998, a hotbed of pop culture photography and an edgy hipster’s wet dream. The gallery is an independent warehouse, intimate and vibrant. Wooden beams hang over chic leather sofas, giving the place a rawness."

"Focusing on the interface of art, science and medicine, this clever and resourceful museum is fascinating. The heart of the museum is Sir Henry Wellcome's collection of medical curiosities (saws for amputation, forceps through the ages, sex aids and amulets etc), which illustrate the universal fascination with health and the body across civilisations. In the Medicine Now gallery, interactive displays and provocative artworks are designed to make you ponder about humanity and the human body."

"An museum mostly consisting of art about medicine might seem like a bit of a strange one, but the Wellcome Collection attracts more than 700,000 visitors every year. Inside, you’ll find an oddly fascinating collection of art, books and artefacts relating to the development of medicine around the globe. It’s certainly enough to evoke some morbid curiosity!"

"It’s something we all take for granted, but imagine life without it. This exhibition, subtitled ‘the spark of life’, traces this strange force’s origins, its uses, and how it has transformed the planet. Date: until 25th June"

"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 Ice-cream parlours Soho. Those nitro-fuelled experimentalists at Chin Chin are the Willy Wonkas of the ice-cream world, and this Soho shop is an ostentatious showcase for their wares. Not only their signature ices, but also full-on desserts – there’s some seriously elaborate stuff going on here amid all the bells and whistles (try the decadent tiramisu sundae)."

"Coffee ice cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and the fluffiest, softest cloud of whipped mascarpone cream, the base of this brilliant tiramisu mash-up is a thick, super rich, brownie-like cookie that is soaked in espresso for an extra gooey texture. The Chin Chin team have truly outdone themselves here. Address: 54 Greek St, London W1D 3DS or 49-50 Camden Lock Pl, London NW1 8AF"
