Grab a bagel, a glass of wine or even a milkshake. Mercer & Co. has the best of everything. Every time.

Don’t get us wrong. We think it’s great that so many hyper-specific boutique fitness studios have sprung up everywhere, but sometimes, it’s nice to have a place you can go that does it all. Or nearly all, anyway. 1 Rebel is one of our favourite fitness studios in London. Come here for spinning, boxing, HIIT, Pilates and more. 

Wild name. Wildy delicious options. Scoop up British artisan cheese, pickles & chutneys and breads & biscuits.

This simple restaurant is one of the most wonderful places in town for crispy roast duck and authentic dim sum. It doesn’t take bookings, so it’s best to arrive before the queue forms – an hour’s wait isn’t unusual at 1pm – for the handmade soup dumplings and prawn-filled tofu-skin rolls.
