• Head over to the City of London to find some
  stunning bars. Office buildings are not normally
  the places you would expect to find a rooftop
  bar, but the Heron Tower has become quite well
  known for this purpose. You do need a head for
  heights as Sushisamba is on the 38th floor!
  Fortunately there is no need to climb the stairs,
  just take the lift, which gets you there within
  30 seconds. It is best to phone ahead to check
  on availability as it often hosts private
  parties. At night, the sparkling orange leaves
  of the tree sculpture rivals the lights of the
  London skyline.
• Paddington is one of Londons most visited areas.
  There are a lot of great things to do in this
  place. After taking off from a train in
  Paddington station, you can take a short walk and
  visit Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and the
  Regents Canal. You can also enjoy a scenic view
  of Londons Little Venice with its cute canal
  boats, and charming flocks of swans. Here are
  other nice things to do when you are in
  Paddington.

• Edward Rooftop bars
• Not far away is the Coq dArgent, providing
  stylish roof top dining as well as a place to
  relax with a drink. Situated close to Mansion
  House in the centre of the City of London, this
  roof top location is open all year round. A
  pretty walkway round the garden enables visitors
  to enjoy a variety of views across the skyline.
  Good food is guaranteed, as this is a favourite
  destination for business lunches.
• Culpeppers is one of the hidden secrets of East
  London but it is also one of the most popular
  venues on warm evenings. Located on Commercial
  Road, it is a working kitchen garden, which just
  happens to include a roof top bar. The food is
  superb, and seating is limited. Booking a table
  in advance is recommended. Special drinks are
  often on offer, and the garden julep is very
  popular. This is a mix of bourbon, lemon and
  whatever happens to be the chosen herb of the day
  ensuring that the taste varies from day to day.

• Londons ice cream delights!
• How about fig leaf, peanut butter blueberry, or
  eggnog chocolate? Consideration should also be
  given to ricotta and sour cherry, white peach
  sorbet or Aperol spritz granita when visiting
  Geluppo in Soho. Flavours are constantly
  changing, making each visit totally different.
  You never know just what is going to be on the
  menu. These are artisan ice creams, created by
  Italian specialists who make a very dense, yet
  fresh ice cream which is not drowned in sugar or
  artificial flavourings.
• Also in Soho is Yorica, who have made their
  reputation by focusing on vegan vegetarian ice
  creams, shakes and frozen yoghurt. All its
  products are totally free from, and that
  includes gluten free and nut free. Even the
  peanut butter ice cream is safe to eat if you
  have a nut allergy since it contains no peanuts
  at all. Around 12 flavours are produced each day,
  together with 60 sprinkle variations, and 18
  different toppings including coulis and fresh
  fruit. The result is a truly individual
  ice-cream, tailored to your own personal taste.
• An artistic element can be experienced at
  Amorinos stores in Soho, Chelsea and Covent
  Garden. Dont expect simple balls of ice cream
  whenever you buy a cone. Instead the staff like
  to be creative, and create pretty rosebud flowers
  out of whichever flavour you choose!

• While in Covent Garden, stop off at La Gelatiera
  and admire artisans at work. While waiting to be

  exquisite delights awaiting you. Only the best
  seasonal ingredients are used, as the owners like
  to follow the Slow Food philosophy. No two days
  are ever the same as the flavours on offer vary
  considerably. How about Cornish blue Walnuts,
  Fresh watercress lime, Basil Chilli, Pine
  Nuts, Calabrian licorice or Porcini Chocolate
  which is said to incorporate the earthy and sweet
  flavours of porcini mushrooms and creamy
  chocolate.
