Unique blend in London

“Really peaceful and calming place. Great street front. I usually try and work here (I work in professional consulting so I can easily take calls in the quiet) Excellent home made paninis at super good value (£3.5!!). They also have a play area for kids so highly recommend for mums with young kids and toddlers”

“This is an absolutely amazing place to enjoy a great quality cafe or any hot/iced drinks. They also do delicious and healthy gluten free & vegan cakes, treats and food. The staff is very friendly and always makes you feel at home. By far the best café around, I'd highly recommend!”

“Words truly cannot express how much of an absolute gem this place is. Going to the hair salon is never something I never really enjoyed and when I moved to London 2 years ago, I was petrified of finding someone who knew how to work with damaged, curly hair. It was sheer luck that I found Nora and her team and I am so grateful that I did. Every single one of them are beyond incredible and have done truly wondrous things with my hair. From the style of its cut to its color, my hair has undergone an amazing transformation from damaged to healthy. On top of being great hair stylists, Nora and her team are just the loveliest people I have ever met - they offer the best salon experience from start to finish and I look forward to every single appointment I have at L'Amel. 11/10 recommend :)”

“Best place for getting hair cut. I always come here and get the hair cut for myself and my kids and my wife also likes his perfection of hair cut for myself and my kids .”

“We were delighted to welcome Ian Souch to our annual London event. His performance was captivating from start to finish, filled with astonishing illusions, sharp humour, and engaging audience interaction that had everyone talking. Ian created an incredible atmosphere throughout the evening, elevating our networking experience and leaving a lasting impression. His act was the highlight of the night, and we can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“Very happy with the sofa I bought. Great designs you do not find often elsewhere, fantastic and helpful staff. Will definitely return!”

“Amazing service! Bought a green captains chair last week. Chair was delivered in excellent condition and they charged a reasonable price for delivery. Very good customer service, staff are very friend and helpful. Over all amazing service.”

“5 star's are well deserved for the quality products, excellent service and ongoing support, we've received from Gemma and the team at Satelliet-UK. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, and plan to order more furniture from them in the very near future.”

“Moving from another country is, I guess, a big challenge as we have to change all our living organization. What's more is the difficulty when it comes to find a suitable place to live. Fortunately, we had the chance to hear about Avasa AI and we decided, after a short reflection, to ask them for help. My partner and I were so relieved to be accompanied, advised and helped by Octavian, Mayank and the whole team! The simplicity of the website and the different filters proposed to find a suitable place for us were so amazing! We found a very nice flat to start our new life in London and we can now say that the money spent on Avasa was wisely spent. Thanks to the whole team for answering the late calls and for taking the time to help us on our project!”

“I had the pleasure of hosting my daughter's 6th birthday party at this pub/cinema, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The lady behind the bar went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. Her attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and willingness to accommodate our requests made the day truly special. The venue itself was perfect for the occasion, providing a comfortable and enjoyable space for both the kids and adults. The combination of the pub and cinema allowed us to have a great time with food, drinks, and entertainment all in one place. I would highly recommend this place for any event, and I'm truly grateful to the staff for making my daughter's birthday a memorable one.”

“Thanks so much, Smartie Artie! Our two four year olds couldn't be happier with their special day. Your act is so perfect for the age group, you seem to know exactly what makes the kiddies laugh! It was an absolutely delightful couple of hours and we would wholeheartedly recommend. Many thanks once again.”

“Absolutely beautiful bouquet provided for my wedding day including smaller ones for bridesmaids and button holes for the men. They all exceeded my expectations. Everyone looked so beautiful. Cara was so lovely, professional and even flexible enough to deliver different bits to different locations as per my requirements. I’d definitely order again. If you’re thinking about a florist to book don’t hesitate to book in with CarBloom Designs! Thank you again for the amazing service.”

“We had an amazing experience with Matt! My mum, sister, and I got matching tattoos, and he made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. He allowed us to customise each tattoo to fit our preferences, which made them even more meaningful. The studio was spotless and private, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We didn’t feel rushed at all, and Matt was incredibly professional while also being friendly and easy to talk to. The tattoos turned out beautifully—his work is exceptional, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the results. If you’re looking for a skilled, professional tattoo artist who genuinely cares about his clients, we’d highly recommend Matt.”

“I went to get two helix piercings two weeks ago and honestly this shop is perfect. The price is really affordable for a studio of quality. Ari set me up so well, talked me through the process and was just so patient and thorough. The place was extremely well sterilized, and the piercing area was cleaned several times. The piercing is healing super well, and I love it so much. Such an amazing place with lovely staff, I 100% recommend.”

“Jade has done two tattoos for me now and they are both my favourite out of all. They have lasted better then any other and she always exceeds expectations”

“I went here for some lunch with family and had a great experience. The pizza chef makes authentic Italian pizza and we actually tried one of the freshly baked desserts too which was excellent. Would totally recommend when in the area. Friendly owner too.”

“This place is amazing. I normally don't like neopolitan pizza but this was amazing and so filling while not weighing me down. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and attentive staff who are so kind. This place should be full at all times!!”

“Such a loving atmosphere, the service was so lovely and nice. We went on a Sunday around 4pm and it was so peaceful. Food and dessert were amazing. Best pizza I’ve ever had. The tiramisu was sooo delicious, best I’ve had. Would 1000% recommend. Prices were very affordable £13+ for a large pizza.”

“I found this little place almost by chance-and I just LOVED it. The food was amazing (price was also very low and portions enormous!), the perfect balance between spice and sour (I had their fermented flat bread with 3 different daals and 2 veggie sides). The owner is the sweetest person ever and it is more than clear that this is not a job for him, but a passion. The place is tiny (which is a pro-makes it cozier!) and super welcoming, with decor that makes you truly feel jumping into the Ethiopian culture! They offered me their typical spice tea: a must have! Just a very lovely experience, absolutely recommended if you love simple and authentic things.”

“Stumbled upon this gem by complete accident. Will 1000% be coming back. Best curry I've ever had. Incredible staff that are friendly, accommodating and make you feel so welcome. The food was absolutely insane.”

“Incredible food! Such a fantastic local gem. The seafood rice was a standout dish.”

“Fantastic shop excellent service quality clothing feel like a VIP every visit. This is one place where you can purchase clothing for anyone with a more ample body. It is a joy to shop here rather than being judged when shopping. We always have a laugh here and nothing is ever too much trouble. We travel from Cambridge to purchase clothing plus clothing can be posted as and when necessary. Would recommend to all. They always go above and beyond to help ensuring comfort at all times. You will not be disappointed if you visit!!”

“Came for Valentine's Day and had a lovely experience. The restaurant has such a family feel, the manager would greet everyone as old friends, and I really hope as they gain popularity they don't lose that personal touch. While it was busy, it wasn't overcrowded despite being Valentine's Day. The service was brilliant, everyone was very attentive, and the set menu was absolutely delicious. We particularly enjoyed the meze dips, the arancini, and the chicken shish. The cocktails were also fantastic. We had a slight confusion with a cocktail voucher, but the manager happily honoured the misunderstanding without question, which was very professional and kind of him. Would highly recommend.”

“Charming cafe relaxed and very friendly with young people with special needs serving customers. Lovely cakes that are homemade and coffee and something a little stronger. Highly recommended. Excellent service.”

“As a local, i really enjoy visiting Cafe Vaknat, it's such a lovely place. Staff are great and after recently trying the cheesecake i love it more! the cheesecake was so tasty and paired with a Latte it's even better! thanks! :-)”

“A high end coffee stop Have wanted to stop by a few times, but never timed it right till the other day. Staff were lovely and friendly, coffee was gorgeous - had an oat cappuccino, smooth and lovely coffee flavour. Plus a citrus cake which was also super tasty. Lovely to support an independent business”

“The best flat white in town. Food is amazing. Artistic, fair priced and always consistent in quality. The host Anaya is always welcoming and courteous. Go visit and you won’t regret it. Lunchtime gets busy!”

“So happy to have found this place! We loved the Chicken Escalope sandwich and lasagna. Amazing food and coffee. 10/10. We will be back!”

“Coming from Alberta, Canada, mourning the passing of my father this last February, I found solace and peace walking through both the East and West Cemeteries at Highgate. The atmosphere was serene and reflective—exactly what I needed during such a difficult time. After my walk, I stopped at the Colonnade Café, where I was warmly greeted and served what might honestly be the best latte I’ve ever had. The batista's warmth and excellent service, plus the roaming fox family, added to the whole experience that will leave a lasting impression. Thank you! I will most definitely be back for another visit.”

“I've only ever driven through Cheam before my visit yesterday, a trip by public transport (tram and train) from Croydon specifically to visit the Whitehall museum, housed in a grade II* listed former domestic dwelling dating from before the reign of Henry VIII. While the museum is an important place of reference for local history, geared more towards children than adults, it also houses the excellent Freedom Caffe' tearoom. The restrictions imposed by such an old, historic house may mean they can't use a normal commercial coffee machine but the range of soft drinks is impressive and more importantly, the vegan options for lunch are delicious. I highly recommend both the vegan sausage roll with salad and the vegan Greek. Then there are the cakes... The only vegan option on the day was a chocolate pear and apple cake but it was gorgeous and the staff were attentive and friendly and the food reasonably priced. I also noted the fresh pasta preparation. There's more to Cheam than the museum but whatever else you're doing it's well worth making sure you visit the Freedom Caffe' for a drink and a bite to eat.”
