Best French Bakery in Brixton

"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."

"Located in the iconic Walkie Talkie, Sky Garden has a foliage-filled viewing gallery on the 43rd floor. From here, visitors are surrounded by exquisite greenery while looking over panoramic views of London. Also seeBeer Tasting in London"

"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)."

"Must try: Griddled vegan cookie dough with burnt butter ice cream. Chin Chin is Europe’s very first liquid nitrogen ice-cream parlour and one of the best spots to discover some of the most unique and delicious desserts in London. Their exciting selection of ice cream flavours are frozen with liquid nitrogen in giant tanks, in a space that looks more like a mad scientists lab than a dessert parlour."

"The Lowdown: ​Look no further for quirky hot chocolates than Camden Market’s Chin Chin Labs – Europe’s first liquid nitro ice cream parlour​. They have pimped up the hot chocolate experience – expect a delicious hot chocolate, complete with torched homemade marshmallow fluff. For your Instagram feed alone, it’s something you simply must try."

"This North London bakery describes itself as ‘a bit health conscious’: cakes contain low fat and sugar, but enough to ensure they taste delicious. Cutter & Squidge cakes make the perfect centrepiece for a big celebration too: the Macron Drip Cake, for instance, is a layered creation decorated with macarons, topped with chocolate shards and finished with 24 carat gold. Vegan cakes are also available, and everything can be personalised."

"If you gave a bunch of five year olds a box of crayons and told them to draw birthday cakes, you’d probably end up with something that looks quite a bit like the celebration cakes at this Soho bakery and café. That’s not a bad thing. Cakes with names like “Strawberry Eat-On Mess”*, “S’Mores”, “Apple Pie” – as a cake, and “Popcorn Drip” are short on cake and very long on globs of frosting, fillings, toppings and childlike humor."

"We wondered…"Can we vegan-ise our favourite blueberry lemon cheesecake cake?" 🤔 Wonder no more… we did it!!. Blueberry buttercream, tangy cheesecake and vanilla sponge 🍰 Head down to Soho today for a slice, also available online to order 😍.

"13/06/2021: Non so se sia cambiato qualcosa nel corso degli anni, ma come rapporto qualitá / prezzo è sempre stato ottimo. Si puó scegliere il grado di piccante del pollo ( veramente buono ) e le bibite sono self service e a volontá ,con un prezzo fisso nel menú che si sceglie.Mi sono fermato piu volte da Nando's e sono contento che questa catena sia resistita nel corso degli anni.Consigliato. 29/05/2021: Went to Nando's because we were starving."

"This Portuguese chain is the people’s choice for peri-peri chicken, but also makes its money with burgers, wraps, pittas, salads and steaks. As a family-friendly go-to option, it has special menus for young ‘nandinos’ too. Flagship site: 10 Frith Street, W1D 3JF"

"Chef Kate Armah’s outstanding Ghanaian restaurant’s sharing platter that includes tsofi, chicken wings, kebabs, plantain, and more is a manifestation of its bountiful hospitality — at this famous east London neighbourhood institution. Other highlights include akonfem (guinea fowl), red red (fried plantain with black eye bean stew and gari foto), and any of the soups — which come served with either fufu, omo tuo, banku, kenkey, kokonte, or rice."

"Have a trawl through the wonders of Borough Market and end up at Tanner & Co, an impossibly charming restaurant and bar offering a warm welcome to all the family. Nothing but the best ingredients go into these hearty, comforting dishes, and there's a tasty (and healthy) children's menu for the little ones. After a long day on your feet with the kids; you've definitely earned one of their signature Bermondsey Street Bootleg cocktails."

"Styled like a vintage school gymnasium (complete with ropes and wooden pommel horses), Tanner & Co is one of Bermondsey's quirkier spots. And while the inside is a feast for the eyes, the outdoor terrace is also not to be missed - adorned with pretty festoon lighting and colourful furnishings."

"Handily located close to some of London’s best-known attractions, this place is perfect for a tasty break amid running around the sights. Converted from what was once a dairy, it's a stylish place that complements its crêpe selection with no fewer than 24 different flavours of home made ice-cream. It also serves an almost endless selection of savoury options, along with daily specials that make the most of fresh seasonal vegetables."

"Also known as the Temple of Mithras, this museum is centered around the remains of an ancient Roman temple in the City of London, left from the days of Roman rule, and is one of the lesser-known free museums in the capital. Named as one of the UK’s most significant archaeological sites, the museum showcases the ancient temple and a selection of interesting Roman artefacts found during excavations, including fragments of writing-tablets which feature the first known reference to London and the earliest hand-written document in Britain."

"One of London’s quirkier and lesser-known spots is literally a blend of old and new. The London Mithraeum is a museum centred around the ruins of a Roman Temple and is located, rather oddly, underneath the shiny glass Bloomberg Buildings in the middle of the city. A visit to the Mithraeum is not just looking at old artefacts, but a full on sensory experience."

"Year Built: c.240 CE Location: Modern-day Walbrook Purpose:  Temple/sanctuary Still Standing:  No – only partial ruins remain. photo source: Wikimedia Commons. The Temple of Mithras is one of the few remnants leftover from the Roman Empire’s time in the area and is one of the oldest buildings ever discovered in London."

"This subterranean Hoxton bar was a trailblazer on London’s craft cocktails scene – and while younger pretenders come and go, Happiness Forgets looks set to stay. The secret is not only in the drinks – strong, sophisticated concoctions, expertly mixed – but also in the atmosphere. The candlelit basement setting is classic shabby-cool, for sure, and the lack of signage gives it an exclusive air, but the vibe is smiley and relaxed."

"If you find yourself in Spencer Matthew’s neck of the woods, you could do worse than pulling up a seat in No11 Pimlico Road. This cool Chelsea restaurant has pretty-as-a-picture interiors perfect for snapping, and serves a broad menu of cult pub classics like sharing platters, moules frites, burgers, steaks and ice creams. Kids are welcome during the day too, if you’re looking for somewhere to take the whole gang."

"No 11 Pimlico Road are towing the line between both savoury and sweet this pancakes as you lap up everything from ricotta pancakes with chimichurri to vegan banana pancakes with maple syrup and coconut yoghurt."
