Local attractions in London

“Just moved to the area and was in need of a good local coffee shop and Balcone is incredible. Not only do they make incredible coffee, they stock lots of different roasters on rotation. Being able to pick up Cat and Cloud (at a super reasonable price) is incredible!”

“I had a root canal treatment + crown made with Claire and it was a really good experience. She is very approachable and I specially appreciate she took the time to explain what was happening at each step so I could get into the chair with more confidence. I hope I do not need another root canal but if I do, I know who to trust.”

“Omg Fun did my hair and it was fabulous I have alot of dye on my hair and Fun wasn't sure it would take but the perm has come out better than expected. I am so happy the ladies are soooooo nice and welcoming thank you so much”

“An absolutely thrilling experience viewing a re-run of Top Gun Maverick in Dolby Cinema. I believe it’s the first independent Dolby Cinema site in the world! Amazing. The venue has the privilege of being located inside the wonderfully restored Battersea Power Station. I have visited their boutique cinema in the Arches at the complex and I have always been a fan of their cinemas but the newly opened Dolby Cinema is pure magic. The sound is absolutely out of this world and the picture is stunning. I can compare this to the Dolby Cinema Odeon in Leicester Square and this venue beats it hands down. Far better seats ensuring a brilliant view even for shorter customers. Amazingly dark so you can really experience the contrast visually and totally immersive and clean sound that makes you feel the audio but doesn't deafen you. Five out of five stars seems stingy to be honest. I just wish I could give it more. I left this beautiful venue last night with a grin on my face! We will be seeing Avatar in 3D tomorrow. Bring it on!”

“I really love this concept. This was my second time in London and eating at Flat Iron this year and they didn't disappoint. Once you walk in, they get you seated, bring you a cup of popcorn immediately while you're waiting for the service to make your order. The steak is delicious and once you're paying you'll get a small "coin" for an exchange for the ice cream at the bar as you're leaving. I love this concept! No extra charges for the popcorn and ice cream. Good job!”

“27 August- 2 September 2022 The front desk service was very attentive and professional. We were greeted by Xinchen Li Guest Relations Manager whom was so so helpful. Her PR is excellent and took us in with open arms. The hotel ambience was warm and welcoming with the right mix of traditional, classic charm with a contemporary feel. We are enjoying every minute in your esteem hotel. The doorman remembers our name and welcoming us every time when we returned. Our room was deluxe, clean and fresh, lovely bed and amenities. The bathroom is very clean and fresh and all we need is there. Everybody from staff is friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay, location is great too, a short stroll to the tube station. We will definitely come back!”

“I work here at present bringing the hotel back to life. I clean up the construction debris and keep rooms updated for the housekeeping staff to create the ambiance”

“Gorgeous stylish studio with an extremely friendly crew. Wade in particular is a superbly talented artist who my family and I have been going to for years. A brilliant eye for detail with loads of ideas and enthusiasm to help design the perfect tattoo. Will be going to him for many more years to come!”

“Omg this was amazing! Got there early (just before 6) so secured a table for 4 very easily. Once we ordered the food came out really quick and everything was absolutely delicious! Cannot fault a single plate. My favourite was the Japche, hadn’t had it for years and it did not disappoint. A must visit in Finsbury Park Find me on TikTok for video reviews @hi.there.im.katie”

“The owner very friendly and hospitable. Food was awesome. Reasonable price, value and quality for money. Small establishment but cosy. Would definitely recommend.”

“The best Indian food around! Tons of options on the menu, very rich in flavour, for reasonable prices. Staff is very friendly, best if you check with them about a 'spicy' level of each dish (some meals are extremely hot). Option to bring your own drinks to the restaurant is a big plus!”

“Helped by Jonathan, very helpful and personable. Good shopping experience.”

“Had a really nice omelette, shop is very small but quality of food makes up for it”

“The best cafe in South London. Friendly staff, great cook who takes time to meet customers. Good menue choice and value for money food.”

“Fabulous! I walked in a weary traveler, I walked out ready to conquer the world. Delicious!”

“Classic English cafe. The food and service are great. You might share a table with strangers. Really strong English breakfasts and they have some Mediterranean options too. Plus prices are excellent for London. There is usually a line at busy times like Sunday mornings you will definitely need to wait but they have a lot of tables so the wait isn't too bad.”

“Very polite and welcoming been coming for over 6 years for my haircut and shave never disappointed”

“They do a mean negroni! Fantastic mezcal twist on my favourite drink, strong and smoky, this alone is a reason to come! Adding to that the fabulous patio, the cosy indoor and the fact that the drinks are distilled onsite, all of that makes this place the perfect boozy oasis in the middle of East London!”

“Always go to this clinic they are THE BEST at fillers. my lips always look unreal!! I travel from far to get in with them and always have the best experience. Actual amazing contouring and lip shape always!! So happy x”

“Perfect location, close to public transport, small Tesco, bank of Thames are nearby. Rooms were updated, spacious and clean and the small kitchen was a useful extra. Staff were friendly, the breakfast was delicious. When we visit London we will stay here again.”

“Amazing hidden gem in London! This is a must for history buffs. This wonderfully preserved Roman site is incredible and the story behind its' discovery and preservation is interesting and inspirational too. Definitely a site to give you 'goosebumps!'”

“Busy crossroad between the Theatreland and China Town. Cool place to go for explore the Asian culture or enjoy the world of musicals.”

“Amazing service, Renzo helped take in a dress that was too big, and added just the right kind of lining to give my dress some volume and a much better feel. He’s very thoughtful and made sure everything was high quality. Less than a week turnaround! I’ll definitely be back.”

“Very friendly, good price and very good taste and fresh.”

“As ever, bloody brilliant. Really good food quickly served. Staff are friendly, engaged and polite. It's always clean and there's always a friendly bunch of people there. Lots of bikes out front and the Ace seems to have the ability to knock away the armour of the typical Londoner to the point of friendliness - especially if the conversation is about a nice bike in the car park.”

“We travelled down here today from Esher so my son could try the açaí bowl. They were about to close but stayed open for us, which was very nice. My son said the açaí bowl was excellent.”

“Lovely people serving, had a friendly chat and a tasty breakfast.”

“Food was great, but the service was exceptional. A great community cafe!”

“This is definitely one of my favourite pubs in the Wimbledon area, it’s so nice in the summer months and nice and cozy inside in the winter. Being part of the Youngs pubs in the area I’m surprised they have so many, and they survive, but I’m glad to say they are surviving. They always have a nice selection of beers, today we had a proper local ale the “Wimbledon Brewery Pale Ale” which is such a great local brewery. They had a nice warm fire burning, but due to our timing we needed to sit out side and they have a great out door area. I can’t comment on what the food is like at present, but historically I have always felt satisfied, but like all the youngs pubs in the area, especially compared to my locals it is slightly punchy. For example 3 beers and a pint of Diet Coke came to £21 I’ve included a picture of the toilets as a lot can be said about a pubs toilets, and these were nice and clean and well maintained. Our only gripe is that the glasses were a little dirty, it looked like the dishwasher filter needed changing. Not enough to complain about and embarrass ourselves. It looked like lemon or lime fragments, which I’m not so precious I had to take my pint back and complain about.”

“Really great place. Good drinks menu; wine, beer, cocktails, frozen daiquiris are a win for this heat. Good sharing options, and vegetarian and vegan menu. Nice place. Friendly service. Also has a cute cinema sceen downstairs. Worth a visit!”
