Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Slip End

"Located on the 43rd floor of the Walkie Talkie building in the City of London, the Sky Garden is the capital’s highest public garden and one of the coolest places to visit in London for free. The garden’s large plant-filled atrium has floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing panoramic views out over the city below and is open throughout the day and into the evenings on weekends – making it one the best free things to do in London at night too!. There’s also an open-air covered terrace on one side."

"If you guys have been following this blog for a while you may have realised that I am borderline obsessed with Sky Garden. I think it’s not only one of the best views and best rooftop bars in London, but it’s also very Instagrammable. The combination of stunning views over the rooftops of London, with modern architecture and green plants is a winner for me."

"At the Sky Garden you’ll get panoramic views of the city and you can also stop for food and drink. You have to book a ticket in advance to visit but it’s free. Head to skygarden.london for more info."

"Located just below Duck & Waffle on the 38th and 39th floors of London’s Herron Tower is the equally impressive restaurant with a view – SUSHISAMBA. SUSHISAMBA uniquely blends Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine and culture, with a menu featuring everything from tempura and sushi to churrasco and seviches. As well as the large main dining room with its floor-to-ceiling windows and unusual bamboo roof, SUSHISAMBA also features the highest outdoor dining terraces in Europe, offering unparalleled 360-degree views across the capital."

"Located on the 38th and 39th floor of the Heron Tower, SushiSamba is quite literally the top of the pops when it comes to sushi restaurants in London. Not only does this classy joint have killer views, but it also has a menu that’ll knock your socks off. Whether you decide to sit inside or out on the terrace, you’re in for a treat."

"The second venture following the City site, this West End restaurant offers a unique mix of Brazilian, Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. When it's not hosting a swanky celeb-filled party, head to Sushisamba for leafy decor and beautifully plated cooking."

"It may sit just two floors above flashy Sushisamba, but the vibe at Duck & Waffle is far more relaxed (although it still boasts the same enviable views). Open 24/7, Duck & Waffle deals in upmarket comfort food, which means you can enjoy the likes of bacon-wrapped dates, a warm savoury doughnut filled with ox cheek, and of course, the eponymous dish, which sees waffles topped with confit duck leg and a glossy-yolked fried egg."

"Restaurants Contemporary European Liverpool Street. When 24-hour licensing was introduced in the UK, we looked forward to round-the-clock craic. Not much actually changed – but at least it meant London could welcome this swanky, sky-scraping restaurant and bar with its 24/7 opening hours and spectacular 360-degree views of the capital."

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

"Ampéli restaurant in Fitzrovia has launched Ampéli At Home, a finish at home delivery menu centred around a series of seasonal feast boxes, delivered directly to doorsteps in London. Made for groups of two or more, these feast boxes are accompanied by a selection of Greek wines from Ampéli’s latest list. Showcasing Ampéli’s autumn menu, each box contains a selection of dishes which regularly feature on tables across Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean."

"Ampeli is one of a host of wonderful restaurants on Charlotte Street, and one of the few that benefits from a small outdoor terrace. That terrace seats exactly six people and has both a cover and heaters so you can tuck into excellent plates of Greek food (accompanied by a stand out wine list of bottles from the mainland and many islands) while watching the world go by. It could be said to be one of the most exclusive tables in London right now..."

"18 Charlotte Street, Fitzrovia, London W1T 2LZ Why should you care?. Fitzrovia’s Charlotte Street may have lost the second outlet of Peruvian restaurant Señor Ceviche but will gain a Greek newcomer in its place. Ampéli is a new Eastern Mediterranean inspired restaurant with a strong focus on Greek wines."

"1 Lombard Street Brasserie is found in an impressive former bank building, complete with lavish interiors and a central domed skylight. Menus are designed by Mark Hix, and showcase his love of robust, seasonal flavours."

"Known for its colourful lattes, Palaette is the ideal spot for when you want to experiment and try something new. Expand your palate, if you will. The staff are really friendly and attentive despite the fact that there's often a massive queue outside – it's very popular."

"In a nutshell: Contemporary Nigerian tapas in Tottenham Where is it?. 274 High Road, Tottenham, London, N15 4RR Why should you care?. Chuku’s has found a permanent home to serve its signature Nigerian dishes, plus a new drinks menu."

"A feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds, new Kings Cross restaurant Magenta features vivid interiors in its titular colour. Designed by British designer Henry Chebaane, the striking spot echoes the 19th century heritage of the building in which it is housed, with rich fabrics and thousands of pink and silver butterflies fluttering overhead. From here, enjoy a northern Italian-inspired menu courtesy of head chef Manuele Bazzoni, who brings with him 15 years of experience in the culinary world."

"This farm is little further out of London, but a whole day of adventure and fun can be enjoyed here, thanks to a huge array of facilities, besides the friendly animals. There’s indoor soft play at the Bundle Barn, an alpine toboggan run, Dino Dig and Splash play area and an adventure playground. Unlike most of the other city farms in London listed, there is a small entry price for this one (£10) but this includes entry to all indoor and outdoor play areas, activities, animals, bird shows and a tractor ride to the dairy farm."

"A post shared by Georgiebd (@georgie.bd) on May 26, 2018 at 10:23am PDT. Cycle along the paths or take a stroll at Lee Valley Regional Park. Stretching 42km (26 miles) along the river Lee, past Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and up to Ware in Hertfordshire, there is plenty of opportunity to spot wildlife, relax or play."

"This enormous, ancient parkland is one of the best places to escape the city while at the same time catching an amazing view of it: the vista from Parliament Hill, which forms the southeast part of Hampstead Heath, is so impressive it’s actually been protected by law. Elsewhere in the park you’ll find a zoo, three swimming ponds (nominal charge which is often ignored) and plenty of quiet spots for a back-to-nature-in-the-heart-of-London picnic."

"Sprawling Hampstead Heath, with its rolling woodlands and meadows, feels a million miles away – despite being approximately four – from the City of London. Covering 320 hectares, most of it woods, hills and meadows, it's home to about 180 bird species, 23 species of butterflies, grass snakes, bats and a rich array of flora. It's a wonderful place for a ramble, especially to the top of Parliament Hill, which offers expansive views across the city."

"For generations, Londoners have headed to Hampstead Heath to escape the dirt and noise of the city, and this unique 791-acre expanse…"

"Everyone deserves to have a bakery as good as Uncle John’s on their road. Technically, this Ghanaian bakery in South Tottenham is on everybody’s road now, thanks to the internet and their nationwide delivery. Aside from their majestic sweet bread and addictive servings of chin chin, their miniature fried coconut doughnuts are our favourite thing here."

"A post shared by Uncle Johns (@unclejohnsbakery) on Jun 10, 2020 at 6:13am PDT. This Tottenham bakery's been making traditional Ghanaian breads, pies, chin chin (thin, peppery snacking biscuits) and coconutty cakes for about two decades now. The Sweet Bread loaf's their signature — squashy and gently vanilla-ed, brilliant just saltily buttered."

"Home to a slap-up selection of Mediterranean dishes, this unique Soho restaurant fronts a state-of-the-art charcoal grill, alongside a range of refreshing cocktails and some very slick interiors in which to enjoy them."

"Restaurants Spanish Soho"

"This West End institution takes its name from market trader Josef Sheekey, who, in the 1890s, was granted permission by Lord Salisbury to serve fish and seafood in St Martin’s Court provided he supply after-theatre meals to Salisbury’s guests. More than a century on, it remains an established favourite with the capital’s glitterati, who you can often spot slurping oysters or tucking into the famous fish pie post performance. In 2008 it expanded to include the J Sheekey Atlantic Bar next door for a slightly less formal experience, featuring a buzzing open kitchen and ample outdoor seating for relaxed al fresco dining."

"J Sheekey has been at the centre of London's seafood scene since 1890 and continues to serve immaculately sourced and perfectly prepared seafood dishes, including their famous fish pie. However, for a romantic meal, share a fruits de mer platter for a feast of oysters, prawns, langoustines and crab. The restaurant itself has maintained its late-Victorian charm with panelled interiors that are intimate without being overbearing."

"If it’s enduring love you’re looking for, J Sheekey’s passion for prime seafood has burned for more than 100 years. The West End restaurant has hosted many a star of nearby stages over the last century, and images of some of those famous faces line the walls. The Champagne bar makes a glamorous spot for two to linger, accompanied by shellfish aplenty and J Sheekey’s famous selection of oysters."

"Scouring the internet for some of the best pancakes in London?. There's a name that seems to be topping every list, and that's Riding House Cafe. Get yourself a Pancake Day delivery with their special box featuring everything from triple-smoked streaky bacon and banana maple to marshmallows and white chocolate chips."

"When these bad boys cruised past us the other day we felt a stab of jealousy. Three fluffy, melt in the mouth pancakes, served with vanilla clotted cream, blueberries and a jug of maple syrup. Wash them down with one of their killer Bloody Marys."
