Just off Carnaby Street, this shop is like a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for grown up's! All of the chocolates are hand made by the team and don't just look good, they taste amazing too...

Scandinavian Kitchen
Traditional Scandinavian food for breakfast and lunch. The lunch menu of open sandwiches and salads is fantastic, as you can choose from quite a few options and mix and match depending on what you fancy that day.

BAO
This restaurant serves simple, yet heavenly Taiwanese dishes. You have to try the peanut milk and the Bao, which are light steamed buns with meat fillings. But be prepared for a long queue, because this place is very very popular!

Flat Iron
Hands down the tastiest 'cheap' steak in London. There's only one steak on the menu and it's priced at an amazing £10...the sides are great too and also very good value for money.
"57 Wimpole Street was the family home of the Ashers, and Paul McCartney lived here in the early days of Beatle mania with his then-girlfriend, Jane Asher. He co-wrote "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" on an old piano in the basement with John Lennon."
The National Gallery showcases the world's most regarded artists in the heart of London.
