Laduree Tea Room – Harrods Knightsbridge
This Parisian tea room is hidden away on the ground floor of the famous department store, Harrods. As soon as I entered, the colourful selection of macarons and the amazing display of cakes caught my eye.
Tibits – Regent Street
This vegetarian cafe had only been open for two weeks when we visited it. On entering, it was very spacious and had a nice atmosphere. Everything looked very new and clean. The staff seemed to be clearing up constantly so the cafe remained tidy.

Cafe Deco – South Kensington
An average cafe located a short walk from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
