The finest artisan Italian ice cream in the heart of London.

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

A go to spot for me that is close to home! Place image not by me

Wonderful place for an indulgent afternoon tea. My favourite room is the millennial pink bathed Gallery room where the walls are covered in a sea of original David Shrigley art. The bathrooms feature beautifully designed individual egg-like pods and there's even a waiter whose sole focus is to serve you caviar.

Founded in 1828 the museum houses around 67,000 specimens many of which are now extinct or endangered. My favorite is the skull of a Bottlenose Whale from 1860.
