Time Out London

"A rustic little chocolate shop with big ambitions in Peckham. Much of its chocolate is infused with aromatic ingredients: dark basil and lemon, cardamom and nutmeg or cinnamon and bergamot."

"This chic west London boutique has made its name in minimalist chocolate creations with inspiring flavours. Temptations include slabs of popcorn-studded and nutmeg-and-gold-infused milk chocolate."

"This bijou boutique is England’s oldest surviving chocolatier – the brand has been around for more than a century. It offers unusual and traditional chocolates in elegant, brightly coloured packaging."

"A serious chocolatier instantly recognisable for its retro blue-and-white colour scheme and intricate chocolate 'art'. The 71% Grenada Chocolate Company dark chocolate bar isn't to be missed."

"Gentrification has sunk its claws into this once-scruffy boozer, for years one of the holdouts along the Portobello Road."

"Perfectly groomed hostesses greet arrivals to this basement den. The atmosphere is lively and, better still, the cocktails are superb. Be sure to try the Lychee Mojito."
