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.
Such an institution in London. Perfect for breakfast or high tea. Environment is very Art-deco and peculiar. Staff are brilliant with their service and yes they serve the 'best' pancakes in town!
Perhaps the best cinema I've ever been to. Amazing seats. Good food. Feel free to arrive a bit late to avoid all the commercials before the show.
You can book lunch in the House of Lords dining room when the government is out of session - definitely worth doing. You get to see more of the space and the meal is very good! £35 flat rate.
Oh yes. This place is good. Get the empanadas (don't be coy - get two orders otherwise you'll be ordering more in no time). The flank steak is 👌. Ask for it medium unless you like it mooing.
Seriously amazing space. Here's your order: Dover sole, cauliflower gratin, and the chocolate cereal cocktail for dessert. All perfect.
Excellent authentic french food in a little back alley in Shepard's Bush. Get the fish of the day with frites and try the bread & butter (unusually amazing)! You'll need reservations...
Beautiful well-preserved castle about an hour by train from London. Bring a picnic and enjoy the massive garden (skip the meh cafe food). Also, this is Downton Abbey.
Find the statue of Paddington Bear on the first floor of the food court!
Great historic building (old Michelin tires factory) worth a visit in it own right. Bonus: the breakfast at the outdoor cafe is great. Get the fried eggs!
Yes, yes it's the bookstore from "Notting Hill" but equally exciting is that they carry all of the Wallpaper city guides.
Great, unassuming local's deli. Looks like a jam & jelly shop from the outside, but has great sandwiches, salads, soups and ice cream for lunch. Egg salad and Italian salami are tops! Very inexpensive
The most charming place in all of Marylebone. So cute it hurts. Part restaurant, part upscale grocery store, part heavenly cheese shop. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and picnics! Get the cheese!
Nice old pub associated with Karl Marx, Charles Dickens & poet Dryden who was killed outside by a mob. Great real ale.
Such a nice place for a break after the noisy corner Old Brompton Road / Earls Court Road, free wifi, good cakes and try the chai latte, baby friendly :)
If you’re looking for a classic British brunch, Dean Street Townhouse is a wonderful to do it. They also have an all day breakfast on weekends! We recommend trying the Townhouse Burger.
The scones and clotted cream/ jam was excellent. Staff was very friendly
London's oldest book shop, plenty of signed copies, royal warrant... What else would you want? ;)
Probably one of the best book shops in the world. You could spend all day inside (there's a café should you need food or drink).
One of London's literary gems. Bigger than it looks from the outside it's selection is fantastic and it's layout has the feel of a little treasure trove. (via Scoville) Mehr erfahren.
Lovely book shop with 'secret' collections upstairs! Ask the staff to show you around for a private tour :)
A charming 17th-century alley lined with secondhand bookstores and antiquarian shops.
I have tried an amazing chocolate cake. Orange almond cake was so good and tender. Falafel wrap was so good and creative. Prices are medium.Friendly stuff. The place is so cosy and relaxing
They have a great selection of books about London and they sell some beautiful postcards.
Beautiful house..lovely paintings and architecture..the garden is amazing and perfect for picnic..free entry.
Must visit vintage shop not only in Dalston but in London. Lovely Japanese clothes, silky kimonos are just killing. The owners are charming and very helpful.
One of my favourite pubs in the city. Still family owned, they know everyone who walks in. Great food and the quiz on a Monday is great too...all with a garden literally on the river!
Really busy and crowded, but super nice atmosphere and cheap flowers and plants! Nice for a sunday walk and a drink in one of the caffees nearby.
Covered market .. Open everyday .. Many options for food, so try to go hungry !!
Street food on the pricey side in a church! Same vendors than in the Mercato in Southbank.
An outdoor, upscale version of a mall food court nestled in a walkable shopping district. Very easy for kids and strollers, at least a dozen food options, and cocktails.
Nice venue. Diverse food stands offer different options to eat. It's covered. Free entry. A bit crowded but the place is quite nice.
Italian deli with small portions of freshly made pasta, ideal for a quick lunch. The agnolotti with truffle and the ‘nduja with ricotta should definitely be on your order.
Surprisingly simple menu, but stunning tapas. Don't skip on any of the specials, the ham croquettes, or any of the tortillas.
Lamb shoulder and fried chicken bao buns are great here. The fried ice cream bao though, is extraordinary! 💯
I have been looking for a good dim sum place in London but none really stood out. Yauatcha is as close to Hong Kong as I can find in London. Prawn cheung fun is phenomenal. Excellent table service too
Hands down my favourite French bistro in London. Seasonal menu of small plates packed with flavour. Try the truffle saucisson,cheese beignets,steak tartare. Romantic atmosphere and friendliest staff.
All in for two at 20quid each gets you an awesome amount and variety of meat and two sides which was all delicious. Lamb chops were especially 👌🏼❤️
The best of modern British michelin starred cuisine and cocktails. Do not miss the cocktails in the blind pig upstairs.
Very affordable and great quality for London, especially for the location. The desserts are fab, especially the tarte tatin and the profiteroles.
Japanese/peruvian fusion in soho - small plate sharing concept - slightly OTT decor and loud music but the food and cocktails are delicious gyoza, pork belly, short rib and sushi rolls are a must try!
Stunning and unique handmade pasta with regularly changing menu! Confit handkerchief pasta is divine.
Really cozy Swiss resturant, transports you to a mountain chalet. The cheese fondues are great, a little pricy for what it is but worth a visit regardless! Nice wine list, quick service.
Loved the idea of Russian/British fusion or British spin on Russian cuisine. Delicious food, cool interior inspired by Orient Express.
Good selection of traditional brunch items and classic British dishes. Grab a seat by the fireplace in cold weather or outside terrace when the sun is out!
Really really impressed. The croquettes and ‘truffle cacio E Pepe’ in particular are dreamy. Wonderful staff too. Came at lunch, would highly recommend!
A small restaurant with a great vibe. Modern European food, whatever it is, is a great combination of casual dishes. Nice wine collection as well. Expect a hour wait for a weekend night.
Wonderful selection of vintage clothes, way better than what you find in Camden. There is a downstairs as well. They even have 20s, and wonderful 50s dresses! Organised by era and not colour! Mehr erfahren.
Love the idea of a hidden bar in a vintage shop! Grab a glass of wine, sit upstairs and enjoy live music.
Nordic Poetry has a large range of designer vintage clothing . Quality hand picked vintage that sets them apart from other vintage stores. A++
One of the best Saturday markets in London. Great selection of both food and craft booths with lots of pubs/ restaurants to sit down for a snack/ drink. Always fun!

Fantastic place near to Green park station. Definitely worth a visit and try the special cocktails. Great concept and drinks as always.You need a reservation
Amazing place to shop for distinctive and beautiful perfume brands, extremely knowledgeable staff, perfume experts in one word.
Antiques, jewelry, and great food. The busiest time is Saturday mornings - that’s when the main flea market is open. So many nice vintage finds there. Usually very crowded, just like other markets.
8 January: A small independent bookshop on the lively Regent's Park Road. Situated in a tidy terrace of independent shops, the owners pride themselves on their wide selection of books and knowledge.
Beautiful, cosy bookshop with a good handful of titles focusing on Hackney and East London. Nice selection of cards and stationery items, as well.
A little dessert paradise! Cupcakes, muffins, cookies, mini-buns, including lovely cinnamon buns. Must try. Coffee is pretty good, but desserts & baking are their real domains.
It's a must because of the glorious interior, unusual for a pub. Get a pint and try their pies.
Always make the best sandwiches that you can takeaway or eat in. This is a real deli situated in Marylebone and family run since 1900s (same family) they’ll make a sandwich anyway way you want
Great new 'secret' cocktail bar below The Breakfast Club Mehr erfahren.
A truly excellent, old school bookstore. Worth it to see the interior alone. Also great selection of books about the UK.
Pretty small museum with some pretty amazing artwork. Find the painting of Icarus - it's incredible to look at. Also, right outside gallery 2 is a piece of art that honors tragic fallen heroes.
"If you’re into hip-hop, soul, reggae or disco, this is a glorious way to spend a day..." Mehr erfahren.
Antique street. 3 to recommend here: fine antique store, Jeff Borsack for jewelry, & goldsmith vintage clothes store.
Bakery in Soho crammed with eclectic decor and delicious goodies. Warmed ham and cheese croissant is fresh and as flaky as expected.
Great selection of a little bit of everything: stationery, books, perfumes, phone accessories, house items. Perfect place for original gifts. Also, check their cafe inside! Cosy, stylish and quiet.
Most beautifully merchandised store I’ve ever been too I want everything they have a must see when your in London.
Serving London since 1830 tucked away on Fitzroy St (by Warren St tube) French's Theatre bookshop stocks a range of play scripts & technical books on all aspects of the theatre
Got a deal for the lunch menu at dinner time. Classic French options, all quite rich. Everything was delicious. Large portions even for a three-course meal, be sure to come very hungry!
Relaxed place, never crowded, good espresso, dinky pastries,knowledgeable skilled baristas. One of the places I missed in lockdown. Saves going all the way to their other branch in Richmond.
Fascinating museum. Full of interesting architectural and historical artefacts, and wonderful works of art. Worth checking in advance if you can book onto the tours, as they're limited.
Decent sized museum with Mail Rail across the road! Ride a bit of London's history.
A quaint museum in the house where Dickens lived for two years with a very informative audio guide, leading through Dickens’ life.
Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite Castle is now her new eternal resting place. Windsor Castle is the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world!
Owners attention to detail quite startling. In a good way. If you like stationery come here.
Lovely Indian restaurant, the food is top notch and worth it. Plenty of vegetarian options.
Traditional pub in a great setting in a small alley. Hidden gem and one of the oldest pub in London.
Cosy, very good food and historical pub by the river! Great atmosphere during Summer!
Ancient Pub by the Thames. Perfect spot for a lazy summer afternoon. Far away from the tourist crowd, a beautiful little spot to spend your time.
Absolutely the best! But, even if you don't buy an umbrella the store is quintessential England!
Regardless of the rain situation, stop by and splurge on a custom-made umbrella. They aren't kidding when they say their craftsmanship can withstand a hurricane.
