World famous Yotam Ottolenghi - cafe for take away salads and pastries.
"The Mediterranean influence is still strong in our cooking but we are as likely, these days, to be reaching for the mirin and miso as we are towards the pomegranate molasses."

Stunningly beautiful and romantic setting for an evening cocktail or dinner. The gardens have a secret feel to them as if you have found yourself in the lost gardens of babylon.
The view over the city is lovely.
It is even children friendly, so you no excuse to miss out on this.

Get on at Little Venice (5 mins from apartment) and take a trip to London Zoo or Camden Lock, depending on whether you want to see lions and lemurs or if you want to get some great 'off the high street' Lonodn shopping done.
It can get a bit crowded so expect a little wait.

Parks & Nature
the perfect place to relax outdoors in the centre of town. Just above the lakeside cafe is a private garden with paddling pool and small playground with sandpit. Great if you have small children. the small upstairs cafe sells ice creams and tea, or just pop downstairs for pitchers of pimms.

Holland park is quirky and more like a forest than a park. Take the kids to feed the peacocks or the coy carp in the Kyoto gardens. Or go to the high-tech adventure playground, complete with mini zip-wire.
It also hosts a lovely restaurant - the belvedere.
