London has great green spaces. There are large royal parks and small public gardens, hidden allotments and roof terraces. Each one has its own identity and characteristics and everyone has their favourite. In summer they become extensions of people homes, you see girls sunbathing from 9 am and the endless picnics mean you can eat 3 meals a day in the park. My favourites - St James Piccadilly Gardens, Hyde Park, Barbican Conservatory.

An independent cinema in the heart of Kensal rise.

A beautiful, neon-fronted, old school, single-screen cinema on Upper St. That anyone would choose to go to the Vue just up the road is baffling

Excellent breads & pastries, including their famous sourdough & doughnuts!

If you want to eat a good cake this is the place! They have so many cakes to choose from but the best one is the white chocolate cheesecake.
