On the face of it, let alone in a "budget eats" feature, £5.70 seems an awful lot to pay for a bacon butty. But the St John bacon butty is indisputably worth every one of those 570 pennies... 続きを読む
Whilst there always seems to be a queue, it's for good reason. This unsuspecting crepe shack has been a delicious pit-stop for over a decade. 続きを読む
This cinema will make you not want to go near a multiplex ever again! The seats are so comfy and the mojitos are divine!
The cutest little corner shop/cafe. And by little I truly mean it's tiny. The salads they serve are truly delicious ;)
Crowded and warm, the perfect place for (real) coffee lovers by Old Street. Service isn't the best, but the espresso is in my personal Top 5 for London.
One of the best stationary shops in London - and of course the Liberty selection
For a treasure trove of festive delights, head to Fortnum & Mason where hampers come packaged in signature F&M-stamped wicker baskets, and for special orders, come delivered on a horse drawn carriage.
Entirely renovated in May 2013: same gorgeous coffee, same amazing team, same beautiful smiles, new cool interior design. Go black filter and try a pastry - it's simply good stuff made with care.
A succulent meal from start to finish with stunning views of London. Pig ears and duck and waffle outstanding
With a mouthwatering menu of 6 p.m. delights like buttery scones, thick slabs of Victoria sponge, fish fingers & sausage rolls, tea-time here provides an elegant alternative to Soho's seedier haunts. 続きを読む
"A refreshingly rough 'n' ready, slightly ramshackle place with excellent blackboard specials, such as pappardelle pasta with a slow-cooked pork ragu or pressed organic brawn terrine..." 続きを読む
Super fast service, in Italian, in a small and utterly warm atmosphere: welcome to your little corner of Italy in Ealing. Well-deserved top 5 in the rankings of the best pizzerias in London.
The place does everything from homemade breakfast granola, to after-work evening tapas, but we dig the ‘creative salads’, which are invented on the premises in about five variants every morning. 続きを読む
A Spanish gem on Maltby Street Market: ham & cheese lovers, you shall not pass on their well-chosen, voluntarily restricted menu, for your Iberian favourites are all there and well worth it.
Simply one of the best comic book stores in the world. As well as having loads of other stuff. If u visit london you simply have to come here. I've done a couple of signings here too.
One's quintessential British pub: quaint, welcoming, with a good selection of ales, and a haven of peace right off hectic Knightsbridge, at the end of a mews. Plus, it's haunted!
Follow Islington’s beau monde to this Middle Eastern bakery and café, where the tantalizing bread platter (toasted tableside) is a meal in itself. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c
The bring-your-own food policy makes for the best evening combo: a glass of their amazing coffee-flavoured rum with a burger from Tommi's. Also, the service is always great.
Burgers are so good you won't even have time to Instagram them. Plus they serve their Hendricks & tonic properly, with cucumber. And did I mention the delicious iced tea?
I thought I would grow tired of their amazing burgers, but no: each time is as great as the previous one. Hands down the best affordable burger I've tried.
Good for French courses. Quite pricey but worth it. It's like you're in France!!
Perfect and cozy little tea house if you wanted to escape London's busy life for an hour or two with some good company :)) ☕️
Exquisite food, sublime wine and wonderful experience: Dinner at the Chef's table is a must.
Opened in 1881, the museum facade uses terracotta tiles which were resistant to the soot of Victorian London. The largest of the famous dinosaur skeletons in the central hall is a diplodocus.
The V&A is the world’s largest museum of decorative art and design and holds 4.5 million objects. Henry Cole, the museum’s first director, printed the world’s first Christmas card in 1843.
The British Museum began from the collection of naturalist Sir Hans Sloane which he left to the nation on his death in 1753. Now it houses 7 million objects including more than 100 Egyptian mummies.
The Bankside Power Station was built as a ‘cathedral of power’ in 1963, but closed in 1981. It reopened as one of Europe’s finest modern art galleries in 2000. The Turbine Hall is 35m high.
Quaint, chic and resolutely engrained in Victorian Kensington, the boutique hotel boasts small but luxurious rooms, delicious, well priced breakfast (locals agree) and a truly attentive staff.
You think you know what to expect from a luxury hotel? Think again. The level of service offered here is difficult to compare, and if you're looking for tailored experiences, you're in for a treat.
The best place to visit if you want to learn more about London’s history. And of course it houses the Crown Jewels, the most famous jewellery collection in the world
This isn't just gelato, this is science, in a shop tricked out to look like the best mad scientist's laboratory. Metro gave it 4 out of 5 Stars. 続きを読む
The 1st Euro venture from multi-Michelin'd Frenchman-turned-NY'er Daniel Boulud, this spot aims to offer London-pleasing highlights from all 5 of his NYC restos. 続きを読む
The largest bookstore in London, Foyles is the epicenter of London's bibilophilic beaten path. Amidst four floors there is literally no book that you will not find. Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer
Go on Sunday and have either, the roast sirloin or roast pork! Served with gravy, roast vegetables and potato, it's excellent! Ensure you start your seating with a scotch egg or chicken liver parfait!
The Golden Lyon tea and coffee house opened here in 1717, making this the oldest shop in Britain in the same trade on the same spot. They’ve also got the oldest corporate logo in the world, est.1787!
This sweet is great because the cakes are not sugary. Traditional Japanese confectionery called Wagashi made with red beans paste which is called 'Anko'. Drinks include iced Japanese Frappe green tea
Try the London Mix Okonomiyaki for main course. And if hotcakes are on the specials menu, try them too. They're the perfect pancake.
Excellent, honestly priced (less than 20 GBP) afternoon tea in the restaurant, great cocktails (try the Ham Yard Tonic) in the bar, both in the same relaxed yet stylish ambiance.
