Fantastic boutique hotel with a few amazing designer rooms. Free stable and reliable WiFi.
This New Zealand newcomer launched its first London roastery and café in Shoreditch a month ago. A huge space and a vast range of breakfast options. Mehr erfahren.
Charming independent coffee shop in Soho with a distinctly Brooklyn feel. Try an espresso here, they serve it with a shot of oolong tea on the side to cleanse the palate. Unique & surprisingly nice.
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!
Who needs the Shard when you can have the Sky Garden for free? Book a free reservation online, head up to the 35th fl. And enjoy beautiful views of London. Terrace closes on windy days :(
Rothko, Warhol, and you also get to see some of Picasso & Dali. Admission is free, and the gift shop has some really interesting art-related books that are definitely worth checking out.
Amazing view during the sunset and cloudy weather in the winter. If you don't have a picture in front, you aren't supposed to be in London!
Probably the most recognisable parliament building in the world. Stunning Gothic architecture. Best viewed from Westminster bridge.
A panoramic view on the Houses of Parliament, Elizabeth Tower, London Eye and the Thames.
The hotel has a great indoor design and a beautiful city view with Big Ben right across to it.
Great coffee and wifi. Seating can be difficult to find in middle of the day- recommend working from the back bar area. There is also a rooftop but it's closed and only open for private events.
Your coffee will taste better after you read their story. A not-for-profit organization, the coffee place you need to go if you need one when you're in Shoreditch.
Boxpark is the world’s first pop-up mall. Made out of old shipping containers, each “box” is its own little self-contained store, gallery or café.
Have a wander down Brick Lane on a Sunday and take in the colourful sights and eclectic smells. All sorts of little stalls to nibble away at, alongside vintage fashion and unusual bric a brac
Recently opened, this place is a Hipster's paradise. Great, authentic, artisanal coffee is served here and the food is prepared fresh upon request. plenty of seating and friendly vibe, perfect lunch!
Located next to the Boundary in Shoreditch, this pastry palace must not be missed. Their breakfast sandwiches are collosal, and homemade scones outrageously scrumptous. Takeaway never tasted better.
The service here is excellent, warm and friendly. The food is outstanding, each dish on the tasting menu was delicious and the 'funky' wine topped it off (top choice from Emily who looked after us)
A wonderful place for people watching on a sunny day or as a romantic meeting place at dusk, but look out for the pigeons. A visit to the National Gallery is also highly recommended.
Once the home of the London Mod scene, Carnaby St. is steeped in London fashion history. Have a stroll down the smaller lanes like Kingly Court & Newburgh Quarter to find smaller, independent stores. Mehr erfahren.
The perfect place for some furious retail therapy. Favorites include: Full Circle, Paul Smith, and Aubin & Wills, and Nicole Farhi.
I keep walking past this and it always confuses me, so many roads to choose from, which one is the right way? I know, I have no sense of direction!
The menu is great, almost comically Brit retro. The hero dish is mince and potatoes, as stark a confection as it sounds. Metro gave it 5 out of 5 Stars. Mehr erfahren.
‘Platform 9 and 3/4 ‘ is a site of pilgrimage for fans of Harry Potter, as this is the place of departure for the Hogwarts Express. A luggage trolley ‘disappearing’ through a wall marks the spot.
The glass floor is real fun! In the beginning it feels strange en scary. But just go for it! You can take lots of fun pictures!

Yotam Ottolenghi’s flagship café-brasserie in Islington remains as popular as ever. You can’t book a table for breakfast, so people queue. Mehr erfahren.
Open from 11:00 to 14:00, Wednesday to Sunday for guided visits and 15:00 to 17:00 for free flow.
Great views of London Skyline! One of the largest and most beautiful from London's parks.
Great lunchtime deal - 2 courses £19 and 3 courses £24. Lovely hazelnut and apple frozen pannacotta and the white peach entree (vegetarian) was tasty and refreshing. Can make bookings, even on the day
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.
A truly excellent, old school bookstore. Worth it to see the interior alone. Also great selection of books about the UK.
One of my fav. breakfast spots in London: ricotta pancakes/scrambled eggs TDF! Love this branch. Great meal before leaving town. Tried chicken schnitzel for lunch 👍👍
Check out the glorious view from the 9th floor! Just remember to look north.
