This upscale gym is as chic as they come. They have great classes, an army of excellent personal trainers, a luxurious spa and an in-house restaurant.

Neighbourhood farmers’ markets pop up all over the city at the weekend. But on any other day of the week, Daylesford Organic, stocking ingredients from Carole Bamford’s Cotswolds farm, is a solid bet for exceptional produce. The Notting Hill deli is stuffed with bright vegetables, pasture-raised meat and cheeses, along with organic wines; and the café makes a delicious three-seeded apple bircher for breakfast.

This dreamy French bistro is just lovely; they focus on top-notch seafood, so we always get an order of delicious briny oysters when we're dining here. Bonus points for their beautiful art deco tiled mosaics.

Sure, you can scoop up feather-soft cashmere and classic workwear from JOSEPH here, but what we really come for is the tightly edited selection of local and international brands on the racks. The staff is lovely, so if you're stuck on a piece, definitely solicit a little advice.
