Fabulous Renaissance and Dutch art collections. Excellent guide pamphlet for a £1 donation.
Famous for its distinctive exhibitions, architecture & annual Pavilion commission. Every Saturday the Serpentine Gallery hosts talks and seminars with prominent artists, poets, curators and academics.
It’s no secret that the evening openings at Hauser & Wirth are magnets for famous faces. Princess Eugenie recently left New York’s online auction house Paddle8 to become the new associate director. Подробнее.
Borough Market is an unmissable destination for food lovers, catering to top chefs in search of premium ingredients and grazing epicures hungry for freshly prepared mouthfuls of culinary excellence.
With thousands of flowers crammed into one noisy Victorian terraced street, London's Columbia Road Flower Market is a taste of the Old East End. Подробнее.
Joining Another Country’s own products are items from companies whose design and philosophy dovetails perfectly with theirs... Подробнее.
Find a sublime edit of pared-down, sharply cut offerings from small European labels like Sessun and Acne. Folk’s own line of ankle boots & platform sandals should satisfy any Rachel Comey shoe lover.
Excellent coffee. Probably the best Flat White I've had. In my top 3 London coffee shops.
In a city with plenty of top third wave coffee shops, Workshop consistently delivers.
Delicious small plates of Taiwanese inspired food, perfect for sharing, including their signature steamed milked buns. There was a queue but once you get inside the service is very attentive.
London: A four-story, expertly appointed house on Dover Street that happens to be the brand’s largest shop in the world, Acne Studio is as much an art gallery as a fashion destination. Подробнее.
Best latte and flat white in Covent Garden. Queues are long but the coffee is worth the wait.
If there is a massive queue just get in different line and buy £1 worth of coffee and add a latte to your order - saves loads of time
Tiny, but full of useful travel knick-knacks. Also you get a free coffee at the cafe if you buy an issue of the magazine.
Dimly lit, minimal interior. Great place to find quiet and good coffee on a weekend. The Nordic sandwiches are an acquired taste.
This coffee shop serves cinnamon buns and good coffee (in Finland they drink more coffee per capita than any other nation. Twice as much as Italy!). Подробнее.
There's something of the Sweeney Todd about this place. The coffee is so rich they must be putting something illicit in there. Peer down into the basement to see some suspicious equipment.
Fantastic, inventive set menu, great cocktails and all for a very reasonable price. I wouldn't be surprised if it picked up a Michelin Star, it's that good. Very underrated on Foursquare
The best place to have a cozy date with your laptop! Excellent coffee, cakes and juices!
Arguably the best coffee in SW1 - interesting fruity roast and the flat white is amazing!
Still finding its feet having opened a month ago but the flat white we tried was strong and smooth and the brownies nutty. The beans are also roasted in house. Подробнее.
Innovative coffee map that shows where your coffee comes from. Can't get more visual that that!
Amazing and attentive staff. It's obvious they really enjoy their job. The coffee is incredible and beautifully presented.
Timberyard was sorely needed in the Covent Garden area. It's a freelancers dream with lots of plugs, WiFi, plenty of tables, meeting rooms for hire, amazing coffee and great food served all day!
Really nice interior here. I got a nicely brewed cup of aeropress from one of the two baristas behind the bar. They also sell their own roasted beans. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!
Missed this after they closed their Brighton branch, but it was well worth the detour on my recent trips up to London. Friendly service, and rich coffee
The cold drip coffee is filtered for 8 hours and is really powerful stuff. Beats a red bull any time
Great cocktails, nice space, really affordable but they need to manage numbers a the weekends a bit better. It was far too rammed. Will be back though.
This cosy cocktail cavern is a bar with down-to-earth decor, extremely well-crafted cocktails, switched-on staff and good music. Simple, really. Подробнее.
Lovely new spot from the Happiness Forgets crew. A bit more relaxed than their Hoxton home, with a vintage North American feel. Great cocktails, good beer list and pool tables. My new favourite local.
The scotch egg starter and pork shawarma kebab was excellent but make sure you ask for chilli sauce if you like things a bit spicy
"Cafe Oto – opened in April 2008 – has quickly established itself as a venue for music that exists on the periphery of the mainstream.." Подробнее.
Best thing on the food menu was fried spam. Everything else was overpriced and underwhelming. Go for the drinks, eat somewhere else.
It looks as good on the outside as it does on the inside (the draw of old traditional hardware favourites and newly-sourced goods is key here), so you’ll definitely want to come back for more. Подробнее.
The shop is the brainchild of Mats Klingberg, who has transformed the 2-tiered locale into a space dedicated entirely to men’s style. Everything comes direct from Milan, & offers superstar quality. Подробнее.
Best Eccles cakes bar none , superb dougnuts and of course along with @HedoneLondon the best Sourdough Bread in the UK
Food is great and staffs are friendly! Get the tuna tartar taco chip and the lobster miso soup!
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... Подробнее.
Very cool name, and a truly international & GREAT selection of cereals on offer! The guys are passionate about their art of cereal cocktails, and can certainly recommend one to your tastes! :)
What a cool spot to grab drinks and listen to tunes. Love the retro vibe here and strong craft cocktails.
Very tasty dishes, particularly the grilled cauliflower and sesame crusted manouri cheese. From the mains, the escalope and the grilled drumstick scored high points among our group.
Peacefully hidden behind the walls of an old school, in a lovely and relaxed ambience, this little restaurant serves delicious meals and brings good company. Подробнее.
They have just opened but coffee is amazing. Great Flat White, these guys definitely know what they're doing.
A trendy coffee shop in a shed because it's that hipster. Seriously though, quite possibly serve the best Flat White in London. Very cosy and fun staff inside.
Very impressed - suitably bitter and strong coffee, extremely friendly staff, and generally pleasant atmosphere. Cakes looked very tasty too!
They are part of the Department of Coffee & Social Affairs (formerly Coffeesmiths) coffee shop chain so you're guaranteed a great cup of coffee any time.
The best place in London for an interesting conversation with a random stranger over coffee, tea, beers, or a cocktail!
Definitely in my top 3 coffee shops in London so far. Good quality beans and the baristas know what they are doing (must have been trained in Melbourne 😉). The staff's chirpiness is infectious.
Outrageously expensive merch, but you can get some sweet samples in the food hall. Foie gras, anyone? Good luck finding your way out, also — think that's intentional. :-)
Though not everyone is a fan of the recent redevelopment of Spitalfields (particularly those pushed out by the rising rents), the market has been afforded a new lease of life. Подробнее.
Cozy but worth the wait for a table - excellent grub and the best oysters in London
Little gallery set in hyde Park. Fantastic for a hit of art amoungst the beauty of the park. Excellent day trip. Go to the serpentine or lido for ice cream and paddle in dianas memorial
More intricate dishes include a terrine of smoked trout and mackerel wrapped in smoked salmon with diced beetroot and horseradish; the thinnest of octopus carpaccio with caperberries, chilli and lemon Подробнее.
Perfect place for having a nice breakfast! The homemade bagel with hummus, cucumber and nut mix is delicious.
The salesman was so great, patient and knowledgeable about the shoes they have on sale/display. Wonderful store. I'm happy with my purchase.
Unusual cocktail menu, an interesting twist on traditional British food, and great service! Well worth a visit :D
Forgive A Little Of What You Fancy for its diabetes-inducing sugary name because this is a proper star, hiding its sparkle under the bushel of the Dalston end of the Kingsland Road. We gave it 4 out Подробнее.
Breakfast-to-go from the Albion’s bakery at the weekend is a must - the giant pastries are second to none – but be warned, there’s only one coffee machine – so prepare to queue. Подробнее.
Not just the smoked meats that are delicious, the vegetarian options are very good too. Highly recommend the cauliflower shawarma.
Lovely meal located at the heart of Spitalfield. Yummy truffle popcorn and quinoa salad for starters, with sea bream and Strozzapretti as main. Fantastic lunch with the loved one
There were some chunks of “E5 gilchester bread & unpasteurised butter” which was a sourdough so brown, moist, airy and patently alive that I half felt I should buy it a drink and invite it to join us. Подробнее.
"Head through the bottle-green industrial front doors on notoriously arty Vyner Street and up a sloping walkway and you will emerge in this classic white cube gallery..." Подробнее.
Spectacular garden, tho the waiting to see the gallery was long it was worth it!
This newly expanded gallery is one of the most vibrant contemporary spaces in the country. Visit exhibitions by respected artists and afterwards grab a bite to eat at the Angela Hartnett restaurant.
Open 24/7, this bakery exudes a rough Cockney charm. Main attractions: salt beef and an entertaining customer mix.
Really great place with a relaxed atmosphere! Food looks great! I had banana, pear and chocolate cake with a flat white! Both were very good!
Pizza will take ages to arrive but it will be worth the wait. Both laksa chicken and spicy salami were brilliant and goes well with their IPA.
If you are a lonely pretty girl, drinking coffee in front of your Macintosh... This is your place.
Olives are fantastic, burrata is not to be missed, salad with sun dried tomatoes can be shared, pizzas aren't small (def larger than avg personal pan pizzas) & we loved the pasta & Zorzal vino too!
Looks like a cool place to fill up and warm up your belly on a wintery afternoon. Bit busy though. Hope you have more luck than we did finding a seat.
The lunch menu is incredibly great value. The food, presentation and service are sublime. Original menu and ample selection of yummy dishes.
For lunch, just get two small plates per person. You will have a feast for cheap. Coffee is amazing here, so save some room at the end.
Even better than most Thai I've had in Thailand ,if you are a big fan of spicy food just like I am, this is definitely one of the best choice:)
5 course set menu was delicious. All dishes were inventive with multiple flavours, balanced and not strong. Excellent service, fun experience. Sheep's yogurt for dessert was my highlight!
This commendable bar-club comprises one expansive room - divided by a wall with an oval hole in the middle, giving the illusion that half of Hoxton is here - and a small pool room downstairs. Подробнее.
An industrial-yet-airy bar with copper touches and it's biggest treat: an in-house distillery where they are crafting their own gins, vodkas and whiskies. The cocktails look simple, but taste amazing. Подробнее.
Try the pulled pork sliders – a quintessential Stateside dish of sauce-drenched shredded meat, topped with pickle and served in tiny buns. They also do a smashing breakfast. Подробнее.
Reminiscent of a Twin Peaks cabin with moose heads, mirror balls, and retro wallpaper, this hidden basement bar is delightfully quirky. Подробнее.
Perfect late night spot in Bethnal Green. They make a mean negroni and will play Illmatic the whole way through upon request.
The Painted Presidente: The glass is literally coated with “pomegranate paint” before they simply pour in a mix of house rum & vermouths, and then it's finished off with a drop of “liquid grass” Подробнее.
One of this year's top 50 bars in the world, and rightly so - the cocktails are great. Read more about it here: http://j.mp/XV3unY
Sprint along the upper deck between the containers, pretending you're in Star Wars. Shout 'Almost there...almost there', then fire your proton torpedos into Pieminister. Everyone will love you.
Don’t expect to find the traditional Sunday lunch at Dock Kitchen, as chef Stevie Parle likes to use international influences in his eclectic dishes. Подробнее.
I really enjoyed the sharing starters and authentic main. Really disappointed by the dessert - felt like a rip off. Not up to the same standard as the Jerusalem restaurant
They are so friendly!! It's a pleasure cede them my pounds !!! ( From now on, they're in my top 10.)
The staff was great, really accommodating with all my fussiness about meat and dairy. Everything was extremely tasty and creative.This place is a gem.
You will be amazed with the extensive list of gin, coctails and the wine at this newbie with much nostalgic flavor and expertise. 5 types of Bloody Mary and Shiso Vodka are my favorites.
Excellent new cocktail joint. Awesome, interesting cocktails and great, friendly service. Recommend the sergeant pepper & pisco sours but they'll make anything you ask for...
A chilled out cocktail haven. This treasure of a bar is the product of one seriously talented team. So whatever your tipple of choice, it will be perfectly executed and utterly delicious. Подробнее.
Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s parallel universes beyond the looking glass, this speakeasy on Hackney Road features mixology-focused cocktails. The Cocktail Club gets wild later in the night. Подробнее.
One of the best little bars in London. Tony C creates fab drinks in his lab upstairs for lucky punters to enjoy in the speakeasy bar downstairs! Подробнее.
An elegant Italian-styled cocktail spot. Drinks are premixed in Tony C’s lab, so expect perfection. Order all the Negronis (at £6.50 a pop) and sample the tasty variations on this bitter sipper. Подробнее.
Flat whites can be too milky, but the place is a good break from the busy shopping... Inside a clothes shop!
A really nice and relaxed coffee shop/cafe as they offer a full menu of food items. A great place to go for brunch, or to set up you ur new phone as they have free wifi. Excellent flat whites here!
Like their shops in Soho, this F&W serves delicious sandwiches, cheese, wine, cured meat, cheese and specialty artisan coffee. Opens daily until 10pm (8pm on Sundays).
Check out a showcase of prints from us, as well as a selection of books and zines!
Flat White opened in Soho in 2005 and was the first of a new wave of coffee shops in London to champion the Antipodean way of starting the day... Подробнее.
Have a flat white at Milk Bar. Then go around the corner to Flat White on Berwick Street and have another one.
UK students get in free with ID. Excellent gallery for its size, with sweet temporary exhibits (i.e. Cezanne's "Cardplayers").
Delicious healthy food, fresh squeezed orange juice, and really friendly staff. The outside tables are perfect for spring sunny days at sunset.
Tiny little Swedish bakery tucked down side street off Long Acre, Covent Garden. All the food - mainly cakes and pastries all look delicious - cinnamon buns especially. Perfect for avoiding anyone
Wander from end to end, soak up all the smells and sights first then attack the stalls.
Long and slender space to people watch and sip fancy coffees, flat whites, Brooklyn beer etc.
Another amazing coffee shop - a little bit further away from our campus but well worth the walk
The place is tiny which only boosts friendliness of the staff. Coffee is excellent, worth coming from wherever you are!
Wonderful vibe and nice snacks and pastries. The matcha flat white was unfortunately very weak and poor quality matcha but I'd still go for espresso drinks. Loved the wallpaper as well.
Nice, unusual selection of loose leaf teas, as well as all the espresso-based drinks you'd expect.
This bustling publishing house reprints work (fiction mostly, but also cookbooks) written by women between 1914 and 1950. Most volumes are lined in patterned paper duplicated from fabric of the era.
No bells and whistles: just classic and quality. Spencer opened a brand new temple for our shoe addiction. Подробнее.
Come for the gin tasting boards - really cool way to try some delicious new (and some unusual gins).
The program of exhibitions, residencies and artists’ projects is internationally acclaimed. And the building, a former library, is itself pretty fantastic. Подробнее.
There's now a cocktail bar up the stairs at the left hand end, called the Boulogne Bar (after the pub's original name, 'The Boulogne Gate')
"Various affordable bar snacks available and several dishes on the daily-changing menu – soup, sandwich and chips, ambitious salads, a pasta dish, small plates like stuffed roasted lamb's heart..." Подробнее.
Awesome and adventurous menu. But the staff were gruff and cold - in stark contrast to the excellent service in Caravan next door.
Amazing flat white but also excellent black americano if you stay in. Beans with feta and chorizo are to die for!
Looks like a great venue for some summer drinking, and bonus - two mins walk from my flat. Bring on the sunshine.
Relaxed and trendy brunch spot. Coffee was great and bread is amazing! Be prepared to queue on weekends though. Not as cheap as people say.
The bar staff aren't rude, the visitors are. My favourite pub in London. Tiny, ancient, quirky. Ales maintained well.
Bring all your money and spend all day here. Everything is amazing and worth every penny. Best store in London.
Always the best selection of the latest Nike styles and collabs. It's also a really impressive space.
"It invites slow saunters, casual leaning against a wall and hours spent exploring. The range is eclectic and international; you're sure to find a book you didn't know you were looking for..." Подробнее.
