Spring always arrives earlier to London, and London shows its most beautiful face during the spring. If you live in London, or if you come to visit, bring your training shoes and take a morning run along river Thames in Chiswick. Between Barnes Bridge and Hammersmith Bridge, there's a great trail on both sides of the river. And if you take the run in March, you might run through this wonderful Alice-in-Wonderland cherry-blossom landscape.

Quiet outdoor garden with bar and pizza meters away from the busy and vibrant Dalston main roads.

A perfect place for any occasion - or no occasion at all - every table feels like the best one.

Get on the list for tickets and surprise someone who will appreciate the 'village of books' upstairs in particular.
