Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Theydon Bois

"The ferns, fig trees and purple African lilies that clamber up the final three storeys of the 'Walkie Talkie' skyscraper are mere wallflowers at this 155m-high rooftop garden – it's the rather extraordinary 360-degree views of London (the best in the City) that make this vast, airport-terminal-like space so popular (advance booking recommended). Located on the 35th floor of 20 Fenchurch St, the Sky Garden has front-row seats for the Shard and vistas that gallop for miles east and west."

"Sky Garden is one of the modern but still equally famous attractions in London. Since its opening in 2015 on the 43rd floor of the "Walkie Talkie" building, the Sky Garden has gained a lot of popularity and has become one of London's best gardens to visit. This attraction serves as a public park for visitors on top of a commercial building."

"Number two on our list of the bests building and architecture in London is the stunning sky gardens. This is one of the most modern buildings found in the city. Also, its one of the highest public gardens to be found in the United Kingdom."

"Address: 49-50 Camden Lock, Camden Town, London NW1 8AF and 54 Greek Street, London W1D 3DS. Whether you're a science buff or not, you have to head here just for the experience - you get to watch as your dessert is frozen to order using liquid nitrogen. Toppings and sauces are kept in beakers to complete the science lab vibe, and flavours are outlandish - think pandan leaf and black sesame cake."

"A thick, brownie-like cookie with sweet-and-sticky dulce de leche, toasted hazelnuts and cranberries, it’s luxurious – full of Valhrona chocolate – and super indulgent. 54 Greek St, London W1D 3DS or 49-50 Camden Lock Pl, London NW1 8AF. Open for take-away in the weekends."

"I remember my first Chin Chin ice cream years ago back in Camden Market. At that point the brand was pretty new and out there, making ice cream sundaes using liquid nitrogen. It was theatrical and fun, but also really sweet and delicious."

"Nestled in the heart of Soho lives Cutter & Squidge, artisan cake makers who specialise in extravagance and wonder. Serving up slices of uniquely flavoured and decorated cakes along with their signature Biskie - a mix of cake, biscuit and cookie topped with marshmallow, buttercream and other goodies - it’s a one-of-a-kind shop in London. And it’s not just for the dairy eaters and gluten-friendly."

"Fun shop, fun website, inventive creations – two sisters established this Soho mecca and are always a step ahead of foodie trends. The sisters explain, “We are a bit health conscious and are not fans of overly fatty or sugar laden foods, so we always keep our fat and sugar content to “just as much as needed to make something delicious”."

"Cutter & Squidge are bringing the latest in hybrid desserts to London. Here, they have invented the Biskie. This is a biscuit-cookie-cake creation filled with buttercream, jam or caramel."

"They do it well as the business is adorable and has amazing smells wafting out of it. We have ordered here loads and have been impressed with the pastas made from scratch."

"https://www.crepeaffaire.com/locations/united-kingdom/st-albans. It’s always nice to welcome a new-comer to St Albans, especially in a spot that was not previously dedicated to filling stomachs. Crepeaffaire, situated on the street corner next to Argos that used to be a phone shop, fills the pancake gap that has blighted the city since Claude’s Creperie on Holywell Hill closed down, many many years ago."

"Crepes, waffles, mini panckages - sweet, savoury, vegan, breakfast; coffee & drinks. www.crepeaffaire.com 01727 864426. 37 Market Place, St Albans, AL3 5DL"

"Kings College London only recently opened this permanent site for the Science Gallery, a dedicated space for showing contemporary artwork that explores scientific questions. Its inaugural exhibition is all about addiction, called Hooked, and previous shows in its travelling days have investigated blood, food and orifices. Think of it as looking at science through the eyes of an artist."

"Science Gallery London is an art-science-and-health inspired gallery in London. The free museum has been open since 2018 in London Bridge after a series of pop-up exhibits across London. The gallery aims to bring together scientists, artists, and communities with three themed seasons every year."

"Enjoy seafood and chilled wines in a relaxed setting at The Pop-up Summer Terrace at The Churchill, found at Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill. Decked out with a nautical theme, the Marylebone terrace mimics the feel of a harbour-side restaurant with wooden decking, scrolls encased in glass bottles and blue and white crockery. In-keeping with the theme, the menu is mainly focused on fish dishes designed for sharing, such as Whitstable oysters, lobster and fries, Devon mussels and squid linguine."

"The beautiful Wellcome Kitchen isn't just easy on the eyes, they're easy on the conscience too. Offering a variety of high-quality vegetarian options alongside all their dishes, you definitely won't leave here disappointed."
