When In London


Whether you are in London for just 12 hours or for a week, you will always have the same problem - so little time and so much to see. Here are some of the 'incontournable' of London.

The Deli is an independent deli and coffee shop filled with the most incredible food which is either produced in-house or sourced locally from a variety of independent suppliers.

Situated on the border of Islington and Hackney it is one of those places you are thankful to have at your doorstep - especially when they are open seven days a week.

We generally go there for on a Sunday morning to fill up on both savoury and sweet goodies for the lazy day ahead. Their selection of sourdough breads is incredible -and perfect for soldiers and eggs or french toast - and so is their selection of patisseries and cakes. They also sell great salads, warm and cold sandwiches and pies. They also have a solid selection of cheeses, charcuterie and olives...

Also, they sell the most amazing chewy sea salt caramel that will make you tastebuds melt. Make sure you grab a few at the counter, I promise you won't be sorry. I hear their coffee is utterly amazing - I don't drink coffee so I wouldn't know.

You can eat in as well - they have a number of seats outside as well as inside. For any foodie friends you might have, they do amazing hampers (for a certain price of course). 

For our Sunday lunch we brought the following products from the Deli; Sourdough loaf of bread, an onion Focaccia, a sausage roll, garlic filled olives, a filled croissant with ham and cheese, eggs, pasta de nata, palmier biscuit, fruit and almond tart, jam doughnut, chewy sea salt caramel and a bottle of Belvoir Eddleflower cordial (all pictured above).

The Bistroteque is without q doubt one of the hidden gems of East London. I have been there several times for brunch now and the brunch menu - and the food - is just as good as I remembered. They make the all time best eggs Benedict and eggs royale I have ever had the pleasure of tasting - they are just perfect.

Tucked away in a small street in hackney you wouldn't know this places existed if you hadn't have been told - and now you have. On the first floor of an amazing warehouse conversion, the resident pianist plays a solid selection accompanying diners while they brunch on white table cloths. They have also just lunched a new concept - community dining - be sure to check it out. 

Because of the open kitchen, dogs are not allowed.
