Bill Granger is a popular Australian Chef and his restaurants in London are extremely well received. He opened in Notting Hill where people queued no matter the weather for the delight that is breakfast / brunch. Seriously delicious. The Clerkenwell branch is a little off the beaten track which means you're less likely to experience the queues but it's every bit as good as the original. The dinner menus are also stunning - but it's breakfast you want to try here! There's a new Granger and Co even closer at Kings Cross but with the in flow of commuters it's not so relaxed as the other two.

Columbia Road Flower Market
Columbia RoadColumbia Road Flower Market is a gorgeous place to be on a Sunday. Bubbling with London life, asides the wonders of the flower stalls the shops on this road burst into life and have many treasures and delights to offer. Top Tip: Angela Flanders Perfumer - the shop's been here over 30 yrs and with candles and oils, room sprays and her signature perfumes. The flower market opens at 8am and it's good to get there early!
