Something street?

And if that’s not enough, check out the UK’s first duck only restaurant, The Duck Truck! Try out mouth-watering goodies like the duck burger and duck fat chips, or go for a healthier option with pan fried duck breast and pomegranate salad.

Something sweet?

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, then say no more: Cake wizards Konditor and Cook are ideal for cakes with brownies to die for. If you fancy smaller snack, head to Lola’s for the prettiest cupcakes in London, or to Crosstown Doughnuts for a range of flavours from classic vanilla glazed to the more experimental crème brûlée or apricot and lavender.
