Floridita Bar

The Cuban experience in London. Haven't been here yet but have just returned from Cuba and was thoroughly disappointed by the Floridita bar in Havana (though as friends pointed out, the banana chips were pretty damn good!). Has anyone been here? Its got to be worth a go!
Forbidden Planet Megastore

A must for all sci-fi fans or urban vinyl art toy collectors. Huge basement with a massive selection of graphic novels and comics.
Freemason's Arms

We visited the Freemason’s Arms on a cold evening in November. We sat in the comfortable leather chairs (armchairs, but not the deep and enveloping variety) and watched the beautiful people mingling at the bar. We could see a few more sensible shoes and bald heads in the eating areas off the bar. In the bar area, there are comfortable chairs for about 50 people. They are arranged around small black slate tables, and there is a small fireplace at one end of the room. The piped music is quite loud, and the atmosphere is definitely more “happening” than the more local feel to the Olde White Bear or Holly Bush. The small tables (and dimmed lighting) confirm that this is not the place for bar games (or pub quizzes), but just about right for a cigar from the selection on sale at the bar. We drank beers on tap (£2.50 per pint) and didn’t test the extensive drinks list.

The Freemason's Arms is located on the southern edge of Hampstead Heath, approximately equidistant from the Hampstead and Belsize Park tube stations and about 500m from the South End Green bus stop.
French Sole

A cute shop famous for its ballet pump shoes, available in many designs and colours. Close to Sloane Square tube station.
Freud

Underground and kooky, this bar is perfect for you arty types. Always crowded with occasional jazz,this is great place for small groups sipping cocktails around their cute little tables. I think they also do food at lunchtime.
Gili Gulu

Yo Sushi but fresher and cheaper! Great conveyer belt sushi and their all inclusive buffet is well worth it.
Gordon Ramsay

One of the best fine dining restaurants in London. Among the ten restaurants of the chain, the must-go one located on Old Hospital Road. It was also awarded with three Michelin stars.

Ramsay currently ranks 3rd in the world in terms of Michelin Stars behind Joel Robuchon and Alain Ducasse and he is also hosting popular TV programmes, Kitchen Nightmares.

If you just have a short visit or if you are just transferring flights in London, you can also try out Gordon Ramsay's Plane Food at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.
